About

In 2006, I found a broken mirror in an alley in Barcelona and on a whim hauled it up to the tiny room I rented for most of that year. I puzzled the shattered pieces together into a crude sunset scene on the wall. It was magic, the way those fragmented reflections brought light and energy to a dark windowless space.

I created my first mirror mosaic surfboard while living in Ocean Beach, San Diego in 2009. In time, I honed my craft and the business grew. Eventually I found myself shipping up-cylced boards worldwide while working out of a sweet little backyard studio in San Clemente, CA.

I’ve been working with mirror for nearly two decades now. I’m still in love with the way it enables me to create artwork that is ever-changing along with the content of its reflections. Like the ocean, it’s different every time you view it. For me, this is a reminder that change is the only true constant and nothing is permanent.

After more than 20 years on the beaches of Southern California, I recently moved with my family back to my home state of Minnesota. It’s been a gift reacquainting myself with the stunning lakes, rivers and forests of my youth alongside my kids. I’ve also opened my first public studio & gallery where I continue to create and ship mosaic surfboards in all directions.   

I’ve always saved glass scraps leftover from my surfboard mosaics and recently began putting them to use in smaller artwork pieces.

My hope is that my artwork reflects light, beauty and a little of our world’s magic wherever it hangs.
