For the past eight years on vacation at Lake Powell, I build a large mosaic near our house boat. The mosaics are made of rocks, driftwood, shells and plants. Sometimes, I add other elements that I find on the beach. They've been featured in the Salt Lake Tribune travel section. I leave them behind - hopefully, for someone else to come across and enjoy. Here is the link to my Youtube video documenting the making of my 2012 project with a compilation of the other projects I've made. I hope you enjoy!
My daughter, Ashley is inspired by nature as well. She is a gifted painter and recently started making some beautiful nature inspired mini-mosaics.

Nature inspired video poem - inspired by my favorite childhood tree.
My husband and I hiked the temple quarry trail in Little Cottonwood Canyon. I found this lone sunflower growing between canyon boulders in the dry creek bed and thought in was so beautiful - the Van Gogh quote seemed to fit perfectly.

In memory of my favorite pink tulips. A gopher ate all of them. Justice was swift...my cat ate the gopher!
