Our mosaics journey began 25+ years ago when we took a beginner course using repurposed china plates. Since then, hundreds of broken plates later, we continue to create utilitarian objects (frames, hanging bud vases, mirrors, tables, chairs) and decorative pieces (teapots, shoes, fish, etc.). In our work, we incorporate repurposed plates, tiles, shells, rocks, vintage jewelry and family heirlooms. As husband and wife business owners of a textile company and real estate development firm, we worked with creative teams and had the ability to collaborate on varied projects. Our many years of work with color and design has proved to be valuable in our mosaic process. In addition, we continue to learn new techniques from accomplished mosaic artists and are inspired by our extensive world travel and nature. In creating our mosaic pieces, our materials are mostly repurposed and/or from nature. We feel that we are saving the environment in a small way by upcycling what otherwise would be thrown into the trash. We have created beautiful objects from family heirlooms also. We have exhibited at Open Studios in Needham, Natick, Newton, Fuller Craft Museum, at SOWA’s 450 Harrison Avenue Gallery 208, at Repurposed in Provincetown, at our studio at MotherBrook in Dedham, and at several retail stores/galleries where we love to engage with people who are interested in our process and unique work.
