My name is Kathy Keppol-Detko and I am an artist of 3-d mosaics. I was born in Philadelphia Pa, now live in Port Orange Florida. Every piece I do is more complicated and challenging. I continue to learn and grow from all my experiences in this art form. Most of my pieces have there own story, some are simply just designed pieces. I have 8 galleries and 1 page that will display my certificates of authenticity.

THIS IS A FUNNY STORY, WHEN I FIRST STARTED DOING MOSAICS, MY SISTER WANDA SAID TO ME, OH DO MY FOOT, SO I TRACED HER FOOT ON A PIECE OF PLYWOOD AND FROM THERE I MADE THE "FOOT STOOL" FOR MY SISTER WANDA, I KNOW IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG BECAUSE IT IS ONLY 2 COLORS AND A SIMPLE DRAWING, BUT SHE CALLED ME OVER THIS WEEKEND 06-30-2007, AND SHOWED IT TO ME, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU AND HERE IT IS.
