Gnomenclature Mosaic Studio

 



Welcome to my new website! 


I’m very happy to share my work with you, and I hope you’ll let me know what you think once you’ve had a chance to look around.  


Whether large or small, I take great joy in creating these pieces.   I especially love creating customized works to help my clients make their gift giving, decorating and architectural visions come true.  Teaching the art is also something I greatly enjoy.

An Ancient Language - A Modern Translation
Sponsored by Tesserae Mosaic Studio, Inc.  www.tesseraemosaicstudio.com <http://www.tesseraemosaicstudio.com/> 
  
Garland, TX, August 27, 2007—Tesserae Mosaic Studio, Inc. of Plano, TX is sponsoring An Ancient Language – A Modern Translation, An Invitational Exhibit of Mosaic Art at the Granville Arts Center in Garland, TX  - October 3 thru November 16, 2007.  
 
Eighteen well-known mosaic artists from across the United States are participating in the exhibit which consists of 29 pieces of mosaic art.  The works are varied in size, style, media, and content.  From representational to abstract, the exhibit illustrates how an art form that dates from at least the 4th Century BC, created by assembling thousands of pieces of marble, has been translated into a modern day art that uses not only natural stones, but glass, fossils, ceramic, found objects and gold.  
 
The public is invited to attend the opening reception to be held in the lobby of the Granville Arts Center from 6:00 – 8:30 PM on Monday, October 8, 2007. 
 
The exhibit is available for viewing on Monday thru Friday, 9 am – 5 pm and during performances.
