About the Artist | Creative Process | FAQ

All tiles are hand painted by the artist, then fired in a kiln at over 1820 degrees. One-quarter inch Italian quarry tile is used for the tile reproductions unless otherwise specified. Tiles come with a masonite backing and are designed to be hung on a wall or used as a trivet. Backing can be removed by soaking the tile in water for at least 48 hours.

Some of the designs and colors used are exact replications of the traditional 6x6 tiles and murals; others are the artist's own creations. Tiles like the Casino and the Holly Hill House are examples of her work. Murals are available with or without borders and come mounted on three-quarter-inch plywood. We will include installation instructions if unmounted tiles are requested. Through freezer testing it has been determined that tiles can withstand sub-zero temperatures. However, we recommend you check with your local tile setter before installing tile outdoors in cold climates.
