Profile Information

About Me:: About me, the Artist:
Growing up in Germany shortly after WWII; watching my parents re-use, re-cycle, re-invent - my involvement in the arts developed very early at about 5 years of age. Trying to make new candles from candle stumps - melting them on my little doll cooking stove, using simple yarn for candle wicks; (almost burned the house down) clothing my dolls by sewing, crocheting, knitting and cross stitch. Creating clay vases, paint and draw in my family’s home in Germany to now creating/working in my home in Florida. My interests and talents have evolved over time. Any type of art has been a constant presence in my life.
After all this experimenting with my very diverse talents I have grown into and have a very addictive desire to create MOSAIC, done from precise cut/nipped vintage fine bone china/porcelain plates, paired with stained glass mosaic, vintage jewelry and other tidbits and baubles. My tools are Glass Nippers, Wheeled Cutters, Glue, Grout and Sealer; sometimes paint.
I create from my thoughts, feelings and inspirations around me. I reclaim/re-invent unwanted items from various sources and breathe new life/usefulness in them, create functional, fabulous, or whimsy Mosaic Art.
Never having attended a class/course for mosaic I can be called self taught. Every new piece I create is a discovery and revelation for me.
I have sold many pieces of my mosaic art since I started 8 years ago. Some of my works are also displayed locally, including being invited and voted to be the Visual Artist at our Classical Concert Series. On commissioned Mosaic Art I always work with the client and involve them in "Their" Art Piece.

I have been an artist all my life, worked with a lot of different mediums; and a mosaic artist for 8 years now. I specialize in doing mosaics using a style referred to as "Pique Assiette" This process involves transforming vintage china/porcelain plates into artistic designs that are always my own. I use only already broken and chipped china which otherwise would be dispursed off and give this china/porcelain a new life in a different art form.

I make handcrafted mosaic's using vintage china/porcelain

Hi...my name is Monika. I have been an artist all my life, worked with a lot of different mediums; and a mosaic artist for 6 years now. I specialize in doing mosaics using a style referred to as "Pique Assiette" This process involves transforming vintage china/porcelain plates into artistic designs that are always my own. I use only already broken and chipped china which otherwise would be dispursed off and give this china/porcelain a new life in a different art form.
