ORSONI MOSAIC SCHOOL
MASTER IN MOSAICO
In October 2006, I attended the Orsoni School's Master in Mosaics course in Venice, Italy. Venice Revisited and Fallen are the two mosaics I created during the 2-week class. Both are made with smalti and smalti golds and metallics. Venice Revisited is a mosaic interpretation of a photo my husband and I took in Venice in 1999. Fallen is a contemporary mosaic using Orsoni's fabulous metallic mosaics. Fallen was part of a juried exhibit at the Ciel Gallery, Charlotte, NC, September 2008. Fallen has also been chosen for inclusion in a book by Brit Hammer-Dijcks entitled, Mosaic - Finding Your Own Voice.

These two floor mosaics, commissioned by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Authority, were installed at the Mile 35 Visitors Center on Alligator Alley (I-75) outside of Ft. Lauderdale in April 2005.
Each mosaic is a "natural history" depiction of the Florida Everglades environment and highlights the difference between alligators and crocodiles.
Each mosaic is 6'x6', not including the border tiles. This visitors center is a fun and
educational place to learn about the Everglades and the efforts being made to restore it.
