KimboRock's photostream |
A self-confessed mosaic maniac, I am, by trade, a sound engineer. I work a day job because I have to. I also have a small mosaic business that is my sanity.
My parents met in an airport and I do believe that is the reason for my gypsy blood - I love to travel! Although born and bred in Australia, I have lived a good part of my life OS. The best cities being San Francisco and Paris.
I keep a blog about mosaics at kimgrantmosaics.wordpress.com
“The primary benefit of practicing any art, whether well or badly, is that it enables one's soul to grow.” - Kurt Vonnegut
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within." ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"If there was an International Mosaic Ambassador, it would be Kim Grant. I don't know anyone who has more passion, curiousity, and wonder for mosaics than Kim.
Through our flickr-relationship and delving into all of her mosaic-themed photos, I've not only gotten to know and appreciate her work, but she's taken me on an eye-opening global mosaic tour. This has deepened my understanding of mosaics as an art form in and of itself, but also as a cultural phenomenon.
I am grateful to her for adding to the body of knowledge that exists; I wonder if she realizes that she is doing so much more than "posting photos". I doubt she cares about this, but I think she deepens the legitimacy of mosaics as a fine art form.
And, on a more personal, but not altogether unconnected, note, she's made me a website that is so freakin' spectacular I practically wet my pants every time I click into it! She was so easy to work with (and considering she's in Australia and I'm in California, that's saying something!) and neither one of us incurred a single long-distance charge. We did the entire thing by email!
My website, and her blog articles, have raised my OWN legitimacy as a fine art mosaic artist. I'm so grateful to her for that too.
Thank you, Kim! What a MAJOR support you've been!
