An artist since childhood Gretchen has a wide background in fine craft work. Studying metalsmithing at the University of Iowa, Gretchen supported herself as a fine weaver and jewelry maker while milking cows and canning vegetables. Gretchen began to focus on mosaic in the late 1990's, traveling several times to northeast Italy to study Early Christian and Byzantine mosaic styles. Gretchen currently gardens, plays music and makes mosaics full time in Portland, Maine.
