Mosaic Arts by Carrie Wainwright

Carrie Wainwright is a self-taught artist working in watercolors and, more recently, mosaics. Working for 20 years as an advocate for children with special needs, Carrie brings to the medium a passion for the broken and unwanted, finding beauty in damaged and discarded items.

Carrie mosaics in both a traditional and a Pique Assiette style, a French term meaning "stolen from plate." Thrift stores that support local charities are the main source of accent pieces for her mosaics. Previously owned china, glass and jewelry find a second life in landscapes, collages and abstract compositions.

​

The energy from items worn or handled by people for generations guides her work, coupled with energy from semi-precious gemstones like quartz, jade, carnelian, jasper, agate, and amethyst.

​

Wainwright creates custom compositions and architectural installations that incorporate clients' personal items, color schemes and settings. For more information please email carriesmosaics@gmail.com
