BIG BANG MOSAICS
MOSAIC ART by CYNTHIA FISHER
WELCOME! I specialize in creating fine art mosaics. From public art to private commissions, school projects and teaching classes and workshops for children and adults, mosaics are my world! Mosaics in the home include mosaic backsplashes for the kitchen and bathroom, mosaic fireplace surrounds, coffee tables and pool side mosaics.
I offer mosaic classes and weekend workshop intensives in my studio in Buckland, MA. These occur when I have enough people signed up. A future weekend workshop is scheduled for January 31 - February 1, 2009. Click here for Information ,email me if you are interested. In addition, I teach at the wonderful Snow Farm, New England Craft Program in Williamsburg MA; Brookfield Craft Center; in Brookfield, CT and Worcester Art Museum.
Recently I have been busy with work created for public spaces, so most of my latest work is on the public art page. Included is an image of my University of Maine mosaic, now installed at Colvin Hall. More exciting news, I am a finalist for the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium percent for art project in Concord NH, and a semi-finalist (selected from 125 applicants!) for the Orange County Public Art Community Recreation Centers project in Orlando, FL.
My trip to Italy in October was magnifico, and I have returned rejuvenated and inspired. I bicycled for a week in Tuscany, then took a mosaic course learning classic techniques. Here is an image of my mosaic - note the hammer on the table, one of the tools used in cutting marble and smalti. I am grateful to have received the Kinnicutt Scholarship, a travel/study award through the Worcester Art Museum to help pay for my trip.
I update my site frequently so check back often to see what's new!
