Today, I would like to tell the tale of mosaic art itself.
Because the process of crafting each individual work of art is unique, every piece is different, expressing a different aspect of the creator’s personality, or telling its own tale. Now, as the owner and proprietor of Blackscape Outdoor Living, and as an artist active in the mosaic arts myself, I have developed great appreciation and reverence for the skill, craft, and artistry it takes to create each piece. As I became more mature, I began to appreciate the symbolism and storytelling that great mosaic artists incorporated into their work. When I was young I believe it was the bright, colorful patterns that drew me in. Ever since I was a child, I have been inspired by the huge variety, incredible durability, and awesome beauty of mosaic art.
