Here’s the first mosaic I did, a few years ago. It’s a house number. The orange tiles are from a broken tea cup and the blue background tiles are stained glass.

“Hi all,
I am part of a group show and magazine release party, curated by Guardian of Bravery magazine and hosted by Rothick Art Haus.
Opening reception is this Saturday, July 10 7-10pm. Rothick Art Haus is located at 170 S. Harbor Blvd in Anaheim, CA 92805.

Here are some photos taken in my studio by Joseph Gaitan of Guardian of Bravery Magazine, along with images of art for sale in the show.
They will be featured in the Studio Issue being released this Saturday.”

My mother sent this to me. My mother, a lover of opera and of risk-taking non-conformity and all things uplifting:

“This is truly thrilling.
On Saturday, April 24th, over 30 members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and principal cast members from their upcoming production of La Traviata converged on the Reading Terminal Market Italian Festival in Philly. Wearing street clothes and blending in with the crowd, the artists swung into action after the first orchestral strains of the famed “Brindisi” were piped through the market, giving a rousing, surprise performance for hundreds of delighted onlookers who were there to enjoy the Italian delicacies that the Market has to offer.
The four-minute piece won a thunderous ovation that included both laughter and tears from the audience. You can see it and hear it here.

Love,
Mom”

“Hi Lilla,
This is a recent illustration that I did for Seattle Met. I’ve included the layout and sketch. I based the stamp image on the Seattle city logo.”

“Hi Lovely Lilla! I had the exciting opportunity to work with my new neighbor, Allison of Igloo Press, on a letterpress project. Igloo Press is a happy blue building about 2 blocks from my house. It is chock full of beautiful machines, job cases brimming with lead type, vintage library carts, family heirlooms and paper. When you walk through the doors, you can’t help but be inspired!!! The local Saturday farmer’s market (just right around the corner from the shop) inspired our first project: recipe cards & food/gift tags. Enjoy and have a sunny day.”
