"St. Jude Square"  is my studio, named in honor of my amazing mother, who had a strong and abiding devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus, patron of "impossible causes". 

Mom always gently told us kids, when we were struggling with something hard--especially something that seemed to have no possible solution-- "turn it over to St. Jude." Then, she insisted, "just let it go, and don't worry anymore" and somehow, we didn't... Many times an unexpected and perfect answer was quickly found. Always, though, a sense of peace was found.

These little square tiles are meant to bring peace. They are simple, in a world that is complex. They are personal, in a mechanized age. They are hand made, and your input helps create them. I like making them--they give me peace, too :)
