BIG BANG MOSAICS - CYNTHIA FISHER
I create custom fine art mosaics, residential mosaics and mosaic murals in public settings nationwide. I conduct school residencies and community projects and teach mosaic workshops at several art centers and at my studio in western Massachusetts, BIG BANG MOSAICS. Fine art mosaics, most notably abstract mosaics are my passion and my work has won numerous national and international awards.

Most of my time is devoted to commission work, from public mosaic murals to kitchen backsplashes and projects for homeowners. In between I focus on creating my own work, below is an example; head to the Fine Art Mosaics page to see this body of work. My newest series is titled ON BEING HUMAN, An Artist's Journey.
ANIMAL WORSHIP, 2023 The central part of the mosaic depicts cave paintings including a giraffe from South Africa, Lascaux, France horses and auroch, Australian kangaroo, small group of animals in Colombia, Bighorn Sheep from the American Southwest and the oldest animal cave painting in the world, a 45K year old warty pig from Indonesia.
'Homo Technologicus' is the latest mosaic in my 'On Being Human' series. The theme is AI or Artificial Intelligence and impending positive and negative implications.
