Hello. My name is Sherry Vesey and I reside in Southern California.

I am self-taught in the form of mosaics and I am continually learning as the artist in me evolves and matures in this particular art medium.

I am a Picassiette (pique assiette) Mosaic Artist which describes a style of mosaic that incorporates pieces of recycled shards, ceramics, plates, dishes, cups, tiles and other found objects into the design. In French, a "pique-assiette" is a scrounger, sponger or gatecrasher, someone whose interest is in stealing a plate. A Mosaic Artist generally creates using the finest materials gathered from sources around the world like smalti, gold, marble, vitreous glass, ceramic and more.

In 2006 I created my first mosaic piece and I immediately fell in love with it, and now have a huge passion for this Art Medium. I love the challenge of using old recycled objects and creating beautiful treasures of Mosaic Art.

The end result is why I am so inspired, as I love to see the beautiful pieces that I have created, while also helping the environment with the recycling.

Please check back often as I am always creating new pieces.
