Artist Statement

I'm Verdonna, mixed media mosaic artist.

Working with my hands, piecing things together, and getting into the details gives me great delight. Mosaic is the perfect medium for me. Bold colors, tactile materials, lots of bits and pieces all melded together in original works, abstract, geometrical, 3D or practical.

My primary material of choice is glass tile, cut by hand for each unique project. Yet, I can't resist textured metal beads, the 3D effect of millefiori or fused glass, rhinestone sparkle, or the luminescence of a piece of abalone shell. I am not shy about using them all.

While many of my mosaics are wall plaques, I love boxes too. Recycling handmade wooden boxes and transforming them into a one-of-a-kind decorative, yet functional, collectible is an absolute joy.
