Outdoor Custom Tile Mosaic Sculptures
Free standing Tile sculptures of Horses, Dolphins, Tropical Fish, Hummingbirds, Butterflies, Blue Herons, Peacocks, Pink Flamingos and many more beautiful creatures.
My art is 2 dimensional….hangs on a fence or supported by steel garden stakes. The larger birds have custom welded feet to mimic their uniqueness and are two dimensional.
Two dimensional art allows for easy install, easy transporting, weight that is manageable, gorgeous focal point art that doesn’t break the budget.
Learning to ‘let go’ of loved ones is a lifelong challenge full of inspiration! My brother Craig, who passed away from cancer at the young age of 38, had an obsession with dolphins. In his home, he had anything and everything ever created that depicted dolphins of all shapes and sizes.
Shortly after this tragic loss and in his honor, his girlfriend had a pool installed that was embellished with a blue border tile each with faint little jumping dolphins. At first glance of this pool I knew instantly what my creative side wanted to express.
It was that exact moment, the journey began! A five foot free standing dolphin was created.
It may not have always been my thoughts to be a mosaic artist, but after my first dolphin and much encouragement from friends that have stood with me through all of life’s changes I embraced the challenge to continue to create.
As an artist, after one project was completed, my mind never stopped thinking of what the next creation could be – of course, bigger, better and more. Why not enormous running horses….wild and free! From that came the rearing horses… I completely lost my mind…and found my own expanded artistic ability in the process!
Some lessons you literally stumble over in the process of learning them. Serendipity definitely describes how the sun happens to hit the sculptures at different times. It sparkles and dances through the hours until it slips into the final moments of sunset- my personal favorite time of day.
I hope that you will find the same playful, fun-loving spirit that embodied my big brother’s personality in each of my custom crafted mosaics made with loving memories. Success for me is that you enjoy them as much as I did in creating them!
