Each week we will take a special look at one of our Holiday Market Artists. We start with mosaic artist Mary Abbott.

Mary Abbott is a mosaic artist. She began creating mosaic designs about 8 years ago when she participated in a class at a local studio and fell in love with the art form! She primarily use glass and ceramic in her creations but she also likes to experiment with incorporating china and jewelry pieces in her designs. 

According to Mary: "I love creating new patterns and trying different techniques and have learned there is no 'wrong' way to create."

Each of the above 6"x 6" glass mosaics are available in the Online Store for $35 each. Choose your favorite(s) now!
