As
mentioned above, a "Personal Life Journey Mosaic" incorporates clients' personal
mementos, photos, and keepsakes to create a story or profile representing the
person's life and memories. I then weave these materials into a
mosaic within a theme we agree upon. For example, I was honored to be asked
recently to create a personalized mosaic with a " Tree of Life"
theme for my girlfriend who
supplied me with the most incredible snippets of her life; photos of her family,
meaningful events, expressions and words used in her family in three different
languages, places she lived, kids
birth certificates (photocopied of course!) and so on. The piece of art captures
her being, her soul and is a very powerful
daily reminder of what makes life precious. It
was a joy to create!
The
possibilities are endless; it’s amazing what people start collecting and put
aside for a mosaic piece. When they
start using their imaginations and open their eyes wide to remember important
events, feelings or experiences in their lives along with personal objects, the
end result is a very visual representation of who they are. I work with the
client using phone, email or in-person contact if possible. We start with a
brain-storming session to get a clear idea of the theme for the piece, and then
the gathering and soul searching begins! I
always keep the client updated on progress and look forward to their reactions
on completion. Click on the "commissions"

Replication
of Existing Pieces:
At your request, I can
replicate any mosaic you see on this site already sold or held in my
private collection. Keep in mind that as I incorporate found objects into
my mosaics, we would discuss and agree upon materials I have in my
inventory or have available for purchase that would be similar to
materials depicted in the original piece.
