Rachel Sager

I know a lot of mosaic artists. Most of us are mosaicists first. Our approach is to create a mosaic which happens to be a work of art (or at least we hope).

From my perspective, Rachel Sager is an artist. Her approach is to creat a work of art which happens to be a mosaic.

These are two of her most recent works which combine wood, stone, and glass (organic, inorganic, and manufactured) in such a wonderful way.

The one above is entitled Wounded Tree II. The one below is called Fool Moon.


The branch in this piece is a Japanese maple. The gold is from a venetian glass necklace that she took apart. The moon is made with pyrite nuggets.
Rachel doesn't have a website - yet. (We're working on that.) But she does have a page in the Rock Star Gallery. Check it out.

Rachels work is at our spa(Centre Ave Massage & Spa.) Her work was part of our grand opening and continues to awe people when they come for a massage. I can't think of ever having any other art on our walls, she is a genuis and her art is one of a kind!
