August 2022 Update:
I have stepped down as MAANZ Queensland Branch Rep to allow more time for my mosaic workshops, commissions, community art projects and family. I enjoyed my role as MAANZ Quuensland Rep for many years and wish the new team all the best. I look forward to participating in many future MAANZ meetups, symposiums and community art projects.
Please contact me at Studio OzMosaics if you wish to discuss a mosaic community art project, school mosaic project, public artwork or a mosaic mural for your home or landscape (wall, pool, garden, sculpture etc). I have recovered sufficiently from my foot injury in 2019 to continue my mosaic workshops and mosaic projects, with the assistance of another mosaic maker. I look forward to discussing your future mosaic projects.

Of course, your commission will be unique but knowing what might be in your mind's eye does help to get things moving. If your mosaic requires research for a commemorative mural or historic/community artwork please provide the information by email/photographs etc.Resident mosaicist, Sandra Robertson will present a preliminary design concept for the mosaic in the form of a scaled artist's impression, design rationale and storyboards of selected materials. Materials vary in price and you will be given pricing across a range of material possibilities. Sometimes, it's amazing how something as simple as gravel and tinted cements, can make an amazing water feature mural in mosaics.
OzMosaics concept design enables you to imagine the mosaic in-situ, allowing for reflection and collaborative discussion before the final design is presented. Computer designs showing the design overlaid in the installation area (where possible) enable discussion on size, colour and installation. We ensure the mosaic project sits well in the intended landscape.
