ABOUT
BEHIND THE MOSAIC ARTIST
Growing up in Hong Kong, besides the mandatory art/craft class once a week in school, art was never a part of my life and my parents did not encourage me or my siblings to develop a sense of creativity or artistry.
My first experience with mosaic began with an ad on Craigslist in 2005. I signed up for a mosaic workshop, simply because I did not fully understand what mosaic was and the class was affordable.
For the first time in my life, I broke a plate without feeling guilty. It was more than exciting, it was exhilarating! But, what came next was even better; the meditative stage of setting the tesseraes, putting the broken pieces of china and tile back together, and then giving them a new life. The satisfaction that followed was life changing. I found it to be comforting and healing. It was as if a reincarnation was taking place before my own eyes.
It was in that moment I realized; my mosaic journey had just begun.
