ABOUT
We are a father daughter team that have always been driven by our artistic interests. We have both gravitated to professions that allow us to exercise our creative side in our daily work.
We specialize in creating handmade mosaic art, inserts, coasters, and more, as well as custom printed tumbled marble wall art, trivets and coasters. Our mosaics are created using a variety of tile, stone, and glass. We create custom pieces for our customers ranging from nautical themes, scenic vistas and locations, to interpretations of favorite photos. Our tumbled marble coasters and wall pieces feature topographical and nautical maps which can be customized to any locale. We can take literally any photo or image and with our specialized process produce it on stone. Our goal is to satisfy each customer’s needs by working to create personalized pieces that fit each customers satisfaction.
For each mosaic design we start by creating a template of the subject. After choosing materials that best represent the theme of the piece, we cut and nip the tiles to create our renditions. We frame each piece in a custom wooden frame with a variety of colors and finishes. Custom Backsplash and permanent installation features are mounted on mesh and face taped, ready for installation. Multiple tile map and photo feature are also customized for installation in backsplashes, bathrooms, or any other room that customers have in mind.
For our tumbled marble coasters, we use a heat sublimation process to create framed pieces, inserts, or coasters ready to be used on your living room table. We can transfer virtually any image, adding text as needed and creating a custom piece to the satisfaction of our customer. The images can be placed on a single tile or spread over set of tiles to create a timeless piece.
Each of our products are 100% handmade. We take the time to customize it to your satisfaction. We will work with you to create a template that we feel best suites the design. We work with you to choose material and colors that compliment your decor and show you progress as we go if so desired. Because each piece is custom made, we generally need 4 to 6 weeks to put together the materials needed and to produce a custom piece.
