MonChic Mosaics

Vendor Biography

I am a self taught mosaic artist, living in Liskeard, Cornwall. In 2021 I launched my small business MonChic Mosaics, offering small gift items such as trays and coasters. Statement one off pieces and bespoke commissions. I work around my family commitments which often means early mornings and late nights, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, I love what I do.

I work mainly with ceramic, glass, slate, and broken pottery. I have a real love for colour and texture, and often experiment with mixed media pieces. The journey each mosaic takes you on is truly unique and so rewarding watching it grow piece by piece.

I learn something new with every mosaic I create, which in turn fuels the creativity for the next. I love nothing more than experimenting with materials, lines, shapes, and textures, taking inspiration from not only the gorgeous landscapes we have here in Cornwall, but my children, the art world and indeed my own imagination.

Commission pieces and gift items are designed, planned and then made. With my statement mosaics, I enjoy taking a more relaxed go with the flow approach, and often start with one idea which transforms to another as the piece progresses.

I love the freedom making mosaics gives me to express myself and create a truly unique piece of art, often using materials that otherwise would be destined for landfill.
