Introducing

Michelle McConnell and Big Tree Mosaics

It is not at all surprising that my interest in mosaics began when I was holidaying in Bodrum, on the south coast of Turkey in 2000. Indeed, this treasure-chest of ancient and modern mosaic work is a showpiece for the art form, and an inspiration for any artistically minded person.

The old fort there had the most magnificent mosaic on the floor. I took a photograph of the design and promised myself that I would do the same on our veranda floor.

About my Work

That was the start of Big Tree Mosaics, a name derived from the huge tree that is growing in my Durbanville garden, and that has been there for over one hundred years. Its apparent antiquity, the mosaic of its countless leaves, and the sunlight that plays between its boughs and greenery, make it a worthy symbol for my mosaic work.

Although I have no formal art training, I have studied, experimented and practiced and mow have acquired sufficient knowledge, experience and skill to be able to offer classes to budding mosaic artists. It is a most practical art form for home decorating and allows one to produce everything from vases to furniture, while beautifying virtually any surface from doors to walls.
