In 1999 she started making mosaics and in 2002 attended the Sculoa Arte del Mosaico in Ravenna, Italy, learning the old techniques of mosaics. There she was inspired by modern works in the old style and began creating two and three-dimensional pieces using art glass, Smalti, millefiori, tiles and various artifacts.

Each piece expresses her vision, with many ideas originating from the beautiful coastal area of Trinidad, where she lives. Along with the portable pieces she has done several large mosaic projects in her home, as well as commission work. Her piece, “Starfish”, was in the exhibition “Opus Veritas – Fragments of Truth”, a collaboration of the Society of American Mosaic Artists’ and the Museo ItaloAmericano in San Francisco from January 15 - April 4, 2004.
