Virginia Gardner, Art in Mosaic

I define "Functional & Decorative" as that work which falls more readily into the category of craft.  Some of the work is sculpted or assembled from scratch, i.e. garden benches are cast in concrete, or I may design and fabricate the base of a frame or mirror prior to applying the tesserae.  Other pieces may begin with a found object, onto which the decorative surface is applied.  In any event, most of the work in this area of my website is considered ornamentation, objects which may or may not have functionality, but all of which contribute to the aesthetics of an interior or exterior landscape.   Of course, I am always delighted to design and create pieces specifically for a client's environment and welcome questions.  I am most easily contacted by email, Virginia@Charlottesville.net.
