I just added Virginia Gardner to the growing list of Rock Stars in the Rock Star Gallery.This piece is White Noon and includes an incredible array of materials, including buffalo teeth! Also, those little dots about a third of the way up the piece are Desert Roses.
If White Night dazzled you with its brightness, here's one of her most recent pieces, Earth 1. It, too, contains an assortment of materials including some of the turquoise slabs from Mosaic Rocks.
Virginia says that a workshop with Ilana Shafir & then all day with Emma Biggs at SAMA had a profound influence on her.
A while ago when I first got into mosaics, I frequently surfed the net looking for mosaic artists. One of the first I stumbled on was Virginia's site & I've been following the progression of her work as a mosaicist and artist over the last few years. It's fun to see how we grow and change as we explore different motifs and new materials.
