I began creating, what I like to call "expressive line art", and discovered that I really enjoyed it! I loved the freedom to create what I wanted and continued learning other mediums. I learned how to paint with watercolor paints, got back into acrylic painting (from high school!), and became interested in mosaics in 2018. My art style is mostly expressive and whimsical, using vibrant colors and bold lines. I like mosaics because I get to collect all kinds of tesserae (pieces you use to create your mosaic) like jewelry pieces, old dishes, broken glass, sea shells, etc., and incorporate those things into my designs.
