Art on Wheels

Posted on 04 • 18 • 12 by | Leave a comment

While in Washington, DC my daughter and I visited the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.  The architecture of the building itself is amazing, evoking the spirit of nature. Once inside I discovered Vochol: Huíchol Art on Wheels, a Volkswagen Beetle covered in a beautiful mosaic of beads, fabric, paint and sculpture.

Glitz of Choice

Posted on 04 • 11 • 12 by | Leave a comment

On a recent visit to Washington, DC, my daughter and I visited the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. One of our favorite exhibits showcased minerals and gems.  While my daughter couldn’t wait to see the beautiful cut and set stones, I was drawn to the stones in their natural states. Below are two of our favorites.

Marie Louise Diadem                   Turquoise, Diamonds, Gold and Silver

Marcasite                                                                                    from Indiana, USA

Living and Breathing Mosaics

The Deep Sea by Ilana Shafir

The Deep Sea by Ilana Shafir

Awakening by Sophie Drouin

Last week I spent four incredible days at the annual Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) conference. I was able to totally immerse myself in mosaics by participating in workshops, attending lectures, interacting with other mosaic artists, and viewing a wide range of mosaic artworks.

The above mosaics created by Ilana Shafir and Sophie Drouin, artists that I have had the privilege of taking workshops with,  have wonderful texture and beautifully utilize stone,  my favorite material. These pieces and many other amazing mosaics are currently on exhibit in the  Mosaic Arts International 2012 exhibition at the Lexington Center Museum & Gallery through April 27, 2012.
