Sailing (Marcia Hinds)


One of the great joys I get from Mosaic Rocks is the opportunity to meet different artists from all over the country and world. Most are mosaic artists in the traditional sense; however, some have an entirely different orientation.
I love Marcia Hinds' work. She call her paintings "ethereal landscapes" which is a perfect description for the way she sees the world through her art. This woman is not afraid of color and uses it in a way which simply draws you into her work.
Of particular note to mosaic fans - some of her work are mixed media in which she incorporates some traditional and some not-so-traditional pieces of tesserae. This photo is her most recent piece called Sailing. It's definitely not mosaic - but some of her other mixed media pieces come right up to the line between mosaic and other art forms.
Check out her website at http://marciahinds.com/ - A few mixed media pieces are in her "acrylics" section but don't ignore the rest of her site, especially her pastels.
