“Geisha”, 2019, 6″ x 6″, broken dishes, beads, stained glass, millefiori

“I’m inspired by what’s going on around me and this year women have inspired me. More specifically for my mosaic art, I am inspired by women in traditional dress. This piece represents a Geisha. Geisha are Japanese women who entertain through performing the ancient traditions of art, dance and singing, and are distinctively characterized by the wearing of Kimono and Oshiro makeup. A literal translation of Geisha into the English language would be ‘artist’.”
