Anna lives locally in Shoreham but travels along the coast everyday to her studio in Hove just a stones throw from the beach. Having trained and worked as a textile designer for many years, she changed discipline to mosaic art nearly 25 years ago.
Her distinctive work falls into two categories: mosaics made from brightly coloured tiles inspired by mid-century design. And mosaics with a nostalgic feel made using vintage crockery. This technique is called ‘Pique Assiesste’.
She takes time sourcing beautiful vintage crockery and creates mosaic items which are totally unique and always one-off. Turning old discarded plates and cups left at the back of the cupboard into new precious objects.Each piece of crockery or tile is expertly cut to shape and stuck to a base. The mosaics are then grouted with Anna’s signature black grout.
