As we are discovering this year, folks are relocating in large numbers to Arizona, many are choosing Tucson to settle. I say to all the newbies, Welcome to Tucson.

There are 10 good months of pleasant weather here and outdoor living is what we have become accustom to. So, it’s no surprise that folks want to find art that suits their home but also their courtyard, patios, and pool sides.

I’m your gal and happy to oblige.

Here are two new mosaic panels that are suited for outdoor decor. They are 3-d sculpted tile features mixed with flat piece handmade tile. My inspiration comes from the beautiful plants and flowers that grow here in the Sonoran Desert and also my very tiny back yard/ garden, which is mostly a container garden. But it’s enough to attract certain birds and it keeps me entertained during my breaks from the studio work. And with that comes along ideas for mosaic designs.
