I create unique handcrafted mosaic garden art designed to enliven any garden setting.   Distinctive birdbaths, birdhouses, tables, gifts and garden art are created,  in the picassiette style, with recycled tesserae (tile, pottery, broken china, glass and found objects) when ever possible.  Once treasured items are reborn as beautiful, functional adornments for your home and garden.  

Custom orders are welcomed and can be designed to suit a particular theme, color combination or special occasion.  Turn around time depends upon the season and what other projects I have going on.

I generally work in a traditional mortar and grout process because I feel that this process holds up the best for exterior pieces.  I also do my own welding and copper work and design many of the stands used to display my work.

 

What does Artcycled mean?

 

Artcycled is a name I came up with to express my desire to utilize recycled, repurposed or reused materials when ever possible.  Recycling items into new uses is a great green alternative!   It also reflects the fractured nature of Picassiette   or broken china and broken plate pottery mosaic which is the primary style of my mosaic garden art.

 

I love taking old items and turning them into functional and completely unique ornaments with a new lease on life.  Recycle = Artcycle
