My Story
Sweet Mabel Studio
Sweet Mabel Studio
I began creating mosaics in 2003, after taking a (life-changing!) mosaic workshop with master artist Isaiah Zagar at The Magic Gardens in Philadelphia, PA. My larger public work can be seen on walls around Narberth and Philadelphia, PA. I have also created permanent installations in several elementary schools and many private residences.

I began creating mosaics in 2003, after taking a (life-changing!) mosaic workshop with master artist Isaiah Zagar at The Magic Gardens in Philadelphia, PA. My larger public work can be seen on walls around Narberth and Philadelphia, PA. I have also created permanent installations in several elementary schools and many private residences.
After closing Sweet Mabel Studio in August 2020, I changed course and gave away the bulk of my supplies, keeping only a small collection of lightweight materials like beads and string. I quickly discovered a love for free-hand embroidery and a tolerance for chasing beads.

For over 12 years I was an artist-in-residence and manager at Sweet Mabel Studio where I taught mosaics and found object art to adults and kids, hosted art parties, and ran art camp. Health safety concerns related to Covid-19 lead to closing the studio in August 2020.
