From the Seine to Sarasota
A French-Inspired Mosaic Collection
After a river cruise on the Seine and a visit to Paris, I came home with a head full of impressions — café facades, wine shops, bookstore doorways, cobblestone streets. These five mosaic pieces are what came out of that trip. Each one is handcrafted from glass tile, broken plates, ceramic, and found objects, and each one carries a little piece of France back to Florida.
This mosaic depicts a French café scene, another piece from my French-inspired period following a river cruise on the Seine and a trip to Paris.
