Mosaics are a stress-reliever and a very creative artform. Every new mosaic allows me to try a new texture or a new color or a new substrate and a completely new presentation. The mosaics are evolving and none of them look anything alike. It is incredible to have such diversity. I am experimenting with multiple panel presentations and sculptures and glass-on-glass. I admire all of the artists here - so many talented people!

Walk in the Rain

Walk in the Rain

"Walk in the Rain" is red, white and blue, if hung on a white wall. In the USA, we're blessed, but even here a little rain must fall. Walking in the rain, nobody sees tears fall, as we support our soldiers in prayer. They may this day give their lives and spill their blood into foreign streets - as honorable patriots, defending the USA.
This is a unique mosaic wall hanging, with droplets and bricks made of Porcelain sculpted material and hand-painted with oils. Other materials include stained glass, glass and mirror. Mosaic is on 1/4" clear Lucite® so that the wall shows through the mosaic wall hanging! Shown here on a white wall. Spacers keep art equidistant from wall top and bottom and hardware is installed, hidden, on the back top of the art.

The "Primitive" mosaic wall hanging symbolizes women throughout history and their strength. A tribute to hard work and beauty, their perseverence in caring for themselves and their love for hand crafted adornments and keepsakes. Mosaic art is composed on a rock that is clear-coated and very textured with indentations and shapes that hold some of the elements in a balanced manner. Copper wire and steel wire wrapped, copper colored metallic threads, copper leaf and hand painted tiles. Rough textured, natural feeling, yet framed.

I always thought that oils and painting were the most creative artform, so when I was able to use hard forms and start to make creative art, it was somewhat of a surprise to me. It was also a lot more painful - with all the glass, which is what I prefer. The antique stores hide their beautiful plates when they see me coming and my husband shakes his head in disbelief, as I purchase beautiful hand-painted plates to break with a five pound hammer later that evening. : ) But, I could never have made the Moonlit Dance without all those wonderful pieces! A lady at our local store, Jamestown Glass, is helping me find the right glass to use for glass-on-glass mosaics. Glass, Lucite, Glass with two plastic layers in between - we are experimenting. I have power tools now and that was an exciting event. Buying agate from a man in Colorado, and pawing through that and grouping it by colorations for future pieces... So much to do and so little time! As artists, I think we have more fun than other people... or maybe we just appreciate time, our God-given talents, and the challenge to do something with them. Even if it's not great art that we do. It's in the "doing" that we grow. Building and creating and learning!
