Discovering Mosaic

I had the opportunity to help create a collaborative mosaic 

 back in 2011 when I was working for Vibe of Portland, 

a nonprofit arts and music educational organization with the mission to 

"Empower Portland's Underserved Youth through Art & Music." 

Teaching artist for Vibe, Leslie Barnum (see below), headed up this project. 

This was the first time I came into contact with this medium. 

I am so grateful for this hands-on introduction to mosaic because it  
inspired me to explore this art form more seriously two years later.

Thank you Leslie! 

I didn't get to see the finished mosaic until I visited 

Portland three years later, in 2015 (see below). 

Starry Night in Caps Revealed!

Well, I know a lot of time has passed since I last posted.... 

The last post I wrote was about the bottle cap mural my 5th grade students 

created at ASPA (Arts and Science Preparatory Academy) in Cleveland, Ohio.

When I revisited that post, I realized I never posted photos of the finished mural. 

Then I thought, "Well, better late than never!"

Here is the finished mural:

 I was so excited to finish this project, I had to give it a hug! 

Begin Again.

Well, here I am again.

I saw the quote below TWICE today and felt like it was a cue to 

get back to posting on this blog!  

I have been having a great time continuing to explore my creativity

and sharing it with the people around me. I have started an Instagram

account to reach more people, but this is limited in what I can write.

Hence, here I am again. 

I want to share my creativity with more people! 

Enjoy.
