Mosaic Fancy Laundry - Megan Cain Mosaics

"I am a mosaic artist located in Madison, WI. I took a mosaic class 8 years ago while living in Memphis, TN and created my first pieces. Soon after, several years of life changes and adventures interrupted my mosaic work.

Five years ago I moved to Madison, where I became involved in a community art project through the non-profit where I worked, Troy Gardens. I assisted a neighborhood artist (and now close friend) in teaching over 35 kids and adults how to make stepping stones and we installed them in the kids' garden on the land.

It was so much fun that we decided to try it again the next year and created a mosaic fence for the kids' garden with over 100 kids, senior citizens and adults. These community art projects reminded me how much I love mosaics and I decided to pursue more of my personal mosaic art." Megan Cain - Wild Plum Mosaics

The original photograph was a close-up of blue & white, round and square tiles, small in size. The mosaic tile work is old and sits before an equally old, small town building's doorstep. I work in mosaic tile art, so photographing the old tile was of interest because of the patterns. With the mosaic tile photograph, I spun it around some in various degrees into a kaleidoscope. Interesting patterns emerged. This is one example showing the tiles yet shapes rearranged forming a central 18 petal star.

I worked at the Anime Expo this summer. Its the largest Japanese Animation Expo in the country. Just for fun I built this mosaic of the AX logo. It was a rather simple design. It only took me a few hours to design and build.

Mosaic Artist - Eve Lynch - Fort Myers, Florida

"I create mixed media mosaic art using stained glass and recycled elements. I've always found delight in the visual and tactile qualities of these materials and I knew I was destined to work creatively with them.

I like to stretch the confines of my art form and revel in creating unique pieces of art from unexpected items."

"I am very new to mosaics and have been addicted from the start. At first I did not think I would have the patience for this slow labor intensive media. The reality is I work pretty loose and fast at this point, and do not sweat the details too very much." Rebecca Collins
