The Retreat at Rancho Capistrano: Journey With Jesus

A few months ago, I was fortunate to have a film crew from Saddleback Church come to my studio in Dana Point, CA, to film the process of creating one of the 15 Stations of the Cross. Although it’s not the entire process, it gives you a glimpse of what goes into one of my mosaics.

15 Stations of the Cross at Rancho Capistrano

Commissioned by Saddleback Church, 4 of the Stations are complete and have been installed at Rancho Capistrano, located in San Juan Capistrano, CA, just above the I-5 between the Avery Parkway and Junipero Serra exits. The mosaics are each 4′x3′ with ceramic tile, cast glass, and in some cases, stone and wood.

Tropical Island Themed Patio

Privately commissioned to transform this patio into a tropical island paradise, I enhanced the existing fountain with mosaic, volcanic stone, and colored glass. Installed misters with light create a volcano effect.

The mosaic (detail below) is made of cast and fused glass, glass tiles, and colored sand.
