Mosaic Artist.

Sandra Bain finished her art degree in the 80s. Since then she has taught art in schools, travelled, become a Mum, and of course, developed her art practice. In the past few years she has been concentrating on her mosaic art - vibrant, but meticulous mosaics. Tables,  wall plaques and water bowls. They are original designs - colourful,  extremely well-crafted.

Bulleen Art & Garden has been lucky to be able to exhibit and sell Sandra's brilliant works. Sandra has also shared her skills and passion with many others through workshops at Bulleen Art & Garden.

 Artists Statement
"My recent work in mosaics has been inspired by my appreciation of both ancient and contemporary mosaics from Greece, Turkey, Italy & Spain.
My rambling garden supplies a never ending source of inspiration.
The mosaic materials I use include hand made slumped glass, fine glass tiles, shells, ceramics old and new, jewellery and recycled items."
