  • From the artist's Botanical Mosaics series entitled "Tillandsia Tessellations": This image's matrix is derived from a narrow vertical slice cut from the "Second Matrix" panel and mirrored horizontally to discover new shape and pattern possibilities.

  • Massive boulders and vertical cliff walls helped protect ancient Sky City from Spanish destruction.  The price in daily life activities was high: every building stone, ladder or fire log, and gallon of water people used had to be carried by hand up to the mesa top.

  • Featuring an ornate botanical pattern of leaves and branches, this tesselated digital mosaic has been assembled from 16 iterations of a square "tile" cut from a larger digital photograph of manzanita bushes growing in a forest on the eastern slopes of California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. This image, in contrast with its companions in the "Manzanita" series, displays the primary pattern that its "digital 'seed' tile" created with simple horizontal and vertical mirroring across a canvas. When a first matrix displays visual complexity, as this one does, that produces pleasing instances of pareidolia--optical illusions of faces, creatures, and other meaningful shapes--I play with color, shape, and line matches along offset edges of paired and clustered tiles edges to find alternate mosaic designs.

  • Desert View Watchtower, designed by architect Mary Colter in consultation with Hopi artist Fred Kabotie and built in 1932, marks a unique viewpoint along the Grand Canyon's south rim. Made of native stone blocks, the structure emulates construction methods used by prehistoric Puebloan peoples. This frame-filling, up-angled vertical image encompasses the upper two-thirds of 70-foot tall edifice to simulate the vertiginous experience of standing close and looking up.  Earth tones in the tower's construction materials and contrasting textures of its boulder base and stone block elevation add interest to this image.

  • Deciduous bittersweet vines lose their leaves in late autumn to reveal small, vividly colored berries in yellow, orange and red. This mosaic originated as a rectangular selection from a digital photograph of bittersweet growing alongside the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal (USA); the segment was chosen for its textural interest in combining berry clusters with tangled vines. Simple horizontal and vertical mirroring of this digital "tile" produced this mosaic's elaborate pattern.

  • From the artist's Botanical Mosaics series entitled "Tillandsia Tessellations": This image's matrix is fashioned from horizontal and vertical mirrorings of a digital square "tile" cut from her original photograph of tillandsia air plants displayed at Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA, USA.

  • Desert View Watchtower, designed by architect Mary Colter in consultation with Hopi artist Fred Kabotie and built in 1932, marks a unique viewpoint along the Grand Canyon's south rim. Made of native stone blocks, the structure emulates construction methods used by prehistoric Puebloan peoples. This frame-filling vertical image, encompassing the entire 70-foot tall edifice, dramatizes the tower's impressive stature and prominent architectural features, all artfully preserved in its 2010 renovation by Xanterra South Rim, LLC.

  • Vertical portrait of an Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) provides close-up viewing of the bird's red eyes and beak and black feathers.

  • This design's intricate green details come from the dark spots on leaves of the tropical Calathea lancifolia plant; red accents in the pattern correlate with the coloring of youngest leaves in the artist's original plant-specimen photograph. The triangular digital "tile" used to assemble this mosaic was cut from another digital "wallpaper" in the artist's "Lancifolia" series, entitled "Lancifolia Cascade. The vertically oriented panel displays clusters of four octagons surrounding central medallions. The image aspect ratio of 4 x 9 (16" x 36" @ 300 dpi) allows the overall symmetry of mirroring the top and bottom halves of the design.
