I have done commissioned work for people and created  mosaics with the children of Sheridan Elementary. One piece is on display at Moore Library and the other in front of Gibson Gardens Retirement facility. I have been the featured Artist in Seaside at the Sunrose Gallery. I have pieces on display at Zolas in Auburn, and had my work at the FReighthouse Square Gallery.
