Im a member of The Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating, inspiring, and promoting excellence in fine mosaic art. I enjoy creating mosaic pieces out of found object. I completed a mosaic called Meander which was made from sticks, twigs, sea shells, stones, river rocks, pebbles, and dry seed head.


Since I can remember I was always like trying my hands at new craft and art project. I have always had a need to create some thing and still do. I get a little over while with all the projects that I want to create and new techniques that I want to try out. My favorite artist was my grandfather Andrew Resutek. I would sit on his lap and he would draw pictures for me and my siblings. I come from a whole line of creative people and have learned some thing from each one of them.


I also enjoy the out door and respect nature and believe that you should work with the environment not against it.
I’m very fortunate to be able to work in a profession where I meet exceptional people. I look forwards hearing from you
