Uncommon Art in Mosaic
Virginia Mosaics is the studio of artist Virginia Gardner, located in the beautiful countryside surrounding Charlottesville, Virginia. Virginia's work is noted for its intensity of color & bold use of textural elements. She creates two dimensional and sculptural pieces, incorporating a wide range of materials, from stained glass and millefiori, to broken china and found objects. Virginia's process may be random or spontaneous, a concept beginning with the discovery of a single piece of china or pattern of stained glass and evolving with the positioning of each tile. Another piece may begin with an image and evolve through thoughtful blending of disparate materials or patterns. Virginia calls her process "prismatic synthesis."
Virginia's Functional and Decorative work incorporates the same wide range of media, but her substrates are often existing objects, such as tables, vessels, frames, mirrors, garden pots, and other accessory-types of objects. These are often mundane objects made beautiful through surface decoration. Her works for the garden often blend fine art with functional, as Virginia has a keen interest in working with polystyrene & concrete, creating beautiful, lasting, functional objects, such as benches & sculpture for the landscape. Larger scale, architectural work, such as murals for exterior walls, is also a part of her repertoire.
