BIO
My Mosaics are inspired by my suroundings and the wider environment where I live in New Zealand. I started mosaics when I was living in the UK after being inspired by the artists at the Mosaic Workshop in London. After many years of working on my art part-time whilst pursuing a career in education, I took early retirement in 2002 to work on my art full-time and opened a Gallery in Kapiti. Since then I have worked on projects and commissions; a representative group of which I share with you viewers on this website. I use porcelain, ceramic and glass tiles which are hand cut and applied on sign plywood. These panels are not suited to the outdoors.
Outdoor mosaics are by commission only. They are done by the indirect method and do not use wood.
I have exhibited in Wellington, Auckland, Australia and England and sold from selected Galleries. I am lucky that my work has pleased, and been collected by, so many buyers from around the world.
I am available for commissions and welcome enquiries from this site using the enquiry form below or email me at janepsantos@live.com
