Cindy Sbrissa

Mystic Mosaics by Cindy is the realization of a lifelong dream. Since I picked up my first crayon and began drawing on the walls and doors of my bedroom (and getting a good spanking for it), I've always known that being a professional artist was the path I would take. Along that path, I've explored numerous mediums but ultimately mosaics grabbed my imagination and creative spirit and wouldn't let go. I'm continually intrigued as pieces fit together transforming my original drawings into three dimensional artistic expressions that are pleasing to the eye, as well as to the touch.

Mosaic art has not only become what I do, but who I am ~ it's not my full-time job, it's my "all-time" job and I count myself fortunate beyond words!!

My specialty is Asian influenced and abstract designs; however, I am ALWAYS motivated and excited when I'm creating original projects to compliment the homes and lives of others.

Working mostly with stained glass, but also with pieces of china, ceramic, glass tiles, mirror, beads and found objects, I create fine art mosaics, functional mosaics which include furniture, wall art, mirrors, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, steps and walkways. I also create garden enhancements such as bird baths, gazing balls, benches, tables, flower pots, and stepping stones, including pet memorial stones. I also create pet portraits as well as wearable art such as pendants, rings, bracelets and belt buckles.

I have been an instructor in the art of mosaic at the Mount Dora Center for the Arts Lake County Art Center (www.lcbac.com), Lake Eustis Institute and hold workshops/classes at my studio in Tallahassee, (located in the Panhandle of FL).
