The Mosaic Memories exhibition is just finished – what a wonderful event it has been. As there were 13 of us, we each took turns to invigilate and it was my turn yesterday. Despite the constant showers, over 70 people came through the doors (including several students from my mosaic course, which was lovely). The […] Read more...
A mosaic feast for you! Virtual exhibition part one.
Ah…what a wonderful evening we had last Friday at the Private View of the Mosaic Memories exhibition. The sun came out, the Pimms flowed, the gallery was full to bursting with people, laughter, oohs and ahhs! Rightly so as this exhibition is a real feast of eye candy. Before showering you with pictures I have […] Read more...

Mosaic & that special something….an opportunity for you!
There is something special about making mosaic art. If you have already been captivated, you will know what I am talking about. If you have not come under its spell, let me explain.

My mosaics in new Stampington mag!
This weekend has seen me doing the Wandsworth Artists Open House whilst the capital basked in this most bizarre but lovely 30 degree heat.

New (he)art work…
Some stuff comes from deep within… Here is my latest offering to the world. It’s 51cm x 77cm and made from vitreous and porcelain tile, glitter tile, ceramic tile and glass nuggets.

One fabulous launch and an amazing work of the heart
The Hospital Mosaic Project was launched last Thursday – unveiled by internationally renowned mosaic artist, Martin Cheek (photo left) and Philip Holmes (photo right) to reveal a wall of over 100 mosaics by artists from all around the world (including yours truly). Everyone gasped – and rightly so. My mosaic is bottom row, second in […] Read more...
A new mosaic with a different kind of ‘grout’
The British Association for Modern Mosaic’s next exhibition is fast approaching with a delicious theme – all things ‘Gothic’. Now…for years I have wanted to experiment with using wooden fretwork as a kind of ‘grout’ and this was my chance – fretwork with the Gothic quatrefoil all over… (the Gothic quatrefoil is an architectural symbol […] Read more...
