These ceramic wall discs were commissioned by Art 3 Gallery, Manchester, NH for an outpatient surgery center north of Boston, MA.

We worked with the art consultant to choose tile sizes and colors, using her direction on design and layout.

Our latest Tree of Life mural was recently installed in a residence in Florida.  Each tile was sprayed with two glazes to add richness to the colors. Thanks to John and Mavis, owners ofAvalon Gallery, Delray Beach, FL, for their assistance with this project!

We used these tiles in a proposal for artwork for the bulkhead of first-class cabins in a major airline’s airplanes.  But we love them so much we just had to show them as a backsplash!  These tiles are glazed in cashew, jade and honey.

These tiles were created for a healthcare installation. The glazes we used are: Blue, Yellow

Snap Pea, Cashew, Robin’s Egg and Persimmon. You can see a larger image

An art consultant recently commissioned a set of discs for a wall in a hospital waiting area.  We thought we’d film our process. Here are the first 2 videos showing this work.

Here’s a video of part of our process of making ceramic wall art tile in the shape of discs.  Click on the image to watch the video.

These discs will be carved in botanical shapes, as the second video shows.

Thanks to Barbara Markoff, corporate art consultant, Artrageous! San Diego, CA for these photos. She commissioned these wall tiles for a waiting area in a hospital.  We worked closed with Barbara to get the right designs and colors for the space.  Each mural is 48″ wide x 24″ high.

An art consultant contacted us this winter, asking for help in designing a tile mural for a residential installation. The art consultant sent us images of the client’s living room to give us an idea of style and color.

The client liked the idea of a botanical design.  We sketched the following design and the client loved it:

We proposed a mural of 9, 12″ square tiles to fill the wall leading into the space.  The client worked with her interior designer, taping paper cut-outs on the wall to determine spacing. Here’s what they initially came up with.

"Before" shot

We made a counter proposal which the client really liked.  We glazed the piece in honey, jade, and cashew.  Here’s the finished piece:
