Elaine Goodwin’s new mosaic exhibition
The contrast with the biting cold January evening was apt. I stepped out of the bustling London street into the gallery space filled with Elaine Goodwin’s latest work, a mosaic expression of her immersion into desert lands. The exhibition contained 50 small pieces representing 5 deserts in Libya, Morocco, Iran, Pakistan and Egypt. All the […] Read more...

The many facets of one mosaic…
It has Swarovski crystals in it (five of them) but those are not the only facets in this piece. Having lived with this piece of mosaic art (complete) for 4 days (and just waved it goodbye as it goes off to the BAMM mUsaic exhibition), I have been amazed at the many facets to this […] Read more...
My newest piece of mosaic art…
“If music be the food of love…” Our first kiss. Our first dance. The slow, swaying embrace to gentle music as I whispered in your ear that I am carrying our baby. Precious moments, set in my heart forever by the music that entwined us. This piece is a beauty as it changes so much […] Read more...
