Tile Mosaics
The images above are all from my recently completed Sun & Moon mosaic feature 10" garden planter. Contact me to commission one of these beautiful additions to your balcony, patio or sun room. Beginning at $135.
There are many forms of tile mosaics, each beautifully unique and intriguing. My take on mosaics is to use bits of tile and ceramics and occasionally other things like seashells, to create a three dimensional expression out of nature.
I like to play off of the intersection, where one piece of tile meets with another. I also like to play off of the shape and 3D flow that comes with using bits and pieces of plates, bowls and other curved ceramics, and weave that aspect into the design.
I love to move beyond the boundary edge of the tile or plate or other substrate, and extend the mosaic outward, overlapping onto the wall where it will hang. I let the mosaic speak to me in order to come up with a unique frame that will further enhance its overall effect.
All of my mosaics are hand designed, and each piece is hand-sanded and shaped to fit into its place in the overall design.

Tile Mosaic/Mural Project: Raleigh, NC
Where there was once only grey concrete, there is now a flower garden of paint and bits of mosaic glass. This project was made possible through an art grant from Raleigh Awesome Foundation. It was designed to play off of the themes of Sassafras Playground, where there are beds of naturalized flowers and shrubs intended to entice pollinators and butterflies and more.
The two side walls feature the life cycle of a monarch butterfly on one side and a echinacea bed swarming with pollinators on the other. Tying the two together is the feature wall featuring the mosaic sun and a variety of flowers also found in the park. Elements on this wall flow freely between tile mosaic and painted.
Contact me if you would like to bring a similar project to your park or city or backyard wall.
