My latest piece of mosaic art, just finished, now flying off to the annual Opus Mosaics exhibition. It is called “Bird in a Grey Sky” and here you can see me trying to love grey skies, which we have had rather a lot of (size 100 x 20cm). And one of my most beautiful creations […] Read more...
London mosaic classes unleash mosaic magic!

And so it begins…
One big mosaic project draws to a close just as another begins…with some overlap that makes the task of managing motherhood, art and business a little tricky.

Mosaic weather tree for January
Our family mosaic project for the year is to make a mosaic tree – 12 branches and 365 leaves – each leaf depicting the weather for that day of the year. We have kept it simple – yellow for days that are mostly sunny; blue (a lovely gold veined one) for days that are mostly […] Read more...
My latest mosaic art
My latest mosaic piece is for a forthcoming exhibition organised by the British Mosaic Association, that will run through March 2012 at The View Tube, which oversees the Olympic Park (oh yes, the Olympics are coming to town..!).
