Firestorm Mosaics was a project making meaningful memorabilia for those who lost homes in the October 2017 fires in Sonoma and Napa, CA, by using the broken pieces of porcelain and ceramic that were recovered from their properties. It was an attempt to bring order to chaos and contribute to the community. I made dozens of pieces for individual families and organized workshops at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts as well as the Graton Community Center for survivors to make their own art. I showed several of my works at the Sonoma State University Reflections: After the Fire exhibit and the Sonoma Wildfires Exhibition - Renewal Through Art in Petaluma, CA group shows. Addionally, there are 2 permanent pieces from this series in the Santa Rosa Junior College Doyle Library art collection.
