New Mosaic Sale Page!

Hi Everyone, I know!
It's been 6 months since I have updated this blog.
Lets just say life sure does throw curve balls :)
Back in action and better than ever, I have updated
my website to include a buy now mosaic section.


Here are just a few of my recent smaller pieces.





I am happy to report that after a summer and fall spent getting to know several gallery board members and co-op owners, I have been asked to submit my work to
both a high end gallery co-op and a popular gift gallery as well.
I am so happy to have these venues open to my work year round.
I adore the people at the market on Sunday's, but the rest of the time my art hangs in my home. It needs light and love. Not just a good cleaning :)

So, buy my work before the added commission of these new venues start in January.

I wish you all a lovely Holiday season.
I will be taking a bit of a break for the most part.
I have one commission to get out before the 24th and the
rest of the month will be for shopping, wrapping and baking goodies.
I hope yours will be much the same.
Much love and joy to you all.


Please "like" my Local Business page on Facebook.
I will be phasing out the artist page for the business page.



Thanks! Annie

A Year of work

Find me on

Mosaic Art Source Blog today!

2008 was a great year!

It's been an an incredible year of mosaic education.
My pieces are selling. I am pleased to say.

My goal for 2008 was to get my website updated, an ETSY store
going and to take the time away from family duties to do my art.

I have accomplished each goal, not by the end of 2008
exactly but now today, all those issues have been taken care of.
Two months late, but done all the same.

The taking time away one, being the hardest for me.
Because with a family of five in a 2000 square foot home,
there is always something that needs done.
Making my work hours a priority in my families eyes
has been an education for them as well.
They are old enough to take over home care, each being over
18 now...they can also take over meal prep a night a week each.
Though honestly they aren't home that much in the evenings anyway.
So the nest empties at the same time I need it to. Making all things easier.

Time to create is a good thing.
My goal for the first half of 2009 is to get a print
portfolio in order and other advertising as well.
To submit more work to galleries and shows,
both locally and elsewhere.

It's been a while

I have been consumed with glass.

Here's a few of my latest pieces...
