I have created commissioned fine art panels, public art, and installations for homes and businesses since 2001. Some clients requested a custom backsplash or fireplace surround for a private home, something to brighten a garden wall, or a custom mosaic finish for a business with panache.
Commissions have included a memorial mosaic panels, a pediatric clinic entryway, an illuminated bar surround and exterior sign for a wine bar, floor mats for stores, murals, privacy screens, and much more. The thing I love most about mosaic is its versatility and functionality. It can be a floor, shower, translucent window, garden feature, boldly stylized ornamental mural or finely detailed photorealistic wall panel.
Each project has unique circumstances, materials, installation considerations, and complexity. The price usually ranges from $300 to $1200 per square foot, plus materials, installation, and travel. If you have seen something I’ve done that you like, I can create something similar. If you have a specific image, logo, or sign, I will happily create your completed design in mosaic. *Custom design work requires a separate contract and pricing structure to be completed prior to commencement of a mosaic project.
Currently accepting commissions for Fall 2024.
