During the cold winter months of 2014 - 2016 I visited the Philadelphia Art Museum a lot and began to pay more and more attention to the frames surrounding the works. From the highly ornamental frame of Van Gogh's Sunflowers to a simple Jasper Johns frame all had a uniqueness and interest that sometimes outweighed the art to me.
This is when I began to sketch and shift my focus on creating unique frames that evolved quickly into mirrors.
I love engaging the viewer in the energy, natural magic and presence that a beautiful mirror brings.
My goal is to create the rarest, most imaginative and unique handmade mirrors that have ever existed.

Anastrata series: 2017
Nebula #1 happily residing in Arizona
Anastrata Classic : Simple beauty, this line takes cues from fashion and patterns utilizing hand etched decorative elements as well as metal leafing
Anastrata Au Naturel : Pure beauty. This line features wood cut right from the tree and reconstructed into a gorgeous natural mirror.
Anastrata From the Garden - Nature's beauty preserved
Anastrata Nebula : This series focuses on creating a rich colorful panel reminiscent of beautiful imagery of Nebulas. Each mirror starts with the finest figured woods that already have holographic qualities and adding rich transparent inks to the wood. Due to the hand applied colors and techniques each Nebula is completely unique.
Anastrata Hand Carved : My passion for creating rich 3d customized panels is the focus of this series.
Anastrata Aloha - hand carved happiness
Anastrata Memories - client given lumber and materials turned into an heirloom mirror
Anastrata Rustic : This series is made from unique boards that have a natural wear and tear giving the wood a warm rich genuine quality.
Anastrata Avant Garde : broken and beautiful
