I Show The Process Of Creating Mosaic Art With My Piece Named “Onshore Annie”

I love showing the process of creating a mosaic. In this piece “Onshore Annie” I document how each section is applied and the thought and details put into creating a unique piece of mosaic art. As an artist in Huntington Beach, CA I have found that I personally enjoy seeing how art is created by others and always find that much more work is put into the creative process than you would imagine. I love that people feel connected to the journey when I post work in progress photos and I invite them to join me along the way while I figure out what to do next within my work.

I figure out what colors I want to use. This process continues throughout the entire time I work on a piece.

It is not uncommon for me to change my mind during the process. Because I can. ;)

I like to add colors that change things up.

I used iridescent stained glass to add interest so when you walk past this piece on the wall the colors will change.

On to the background.

I loved the way this sheet of glass looked as is so I decide to challenge myself and cut it up and shape it around the hair. It was a challenge!

Because I decided to use this glass for the background and keep it whole...I needed to shape around the waves first in this particular section.

I wanted to have a bright and bold one color for the sun but knew I needed to add interest to the andamento (the flow or pattern of the glass pieces) I put in a bit of a basket weave to break up this solid color.

Putting in the waves with an appropriately named glass called “Sea Foam”.

A closeup shows you after grout the pattern or andamento of the sun.

“Onshore Annie” is a story about how I fell in love with living in Huntington Beach, CA and my time spent on the beach.
