Outdoor Garden pieces and Fine Art Mirrors and commissions and News (where people can see my work) (This should replace the info on the first page.) Ursula Neufeld, mosaic artist, creates contemporary art mosaics for gallery, architectural, community and home settings.
My mosaics are a collage that contain many different materials: handmade ceramic pieces, Raku pieces that I glaze and fire by myself, glass tesserae, natural stones of all kinds and shapes,tile, China, etc. Also, I use corals, seashells, stained glass, millifiori, and the ancient formed glass....smalti.
This vast assortment of materials provides an endless array of aesthetic possibilities. The mosaics reflect light in a dynamic manner because they are made out of elements that are of various heights. The uneven surface of low and high relief creates a vibrant effect.
Mosaic is a creative and dynamic dialogue between two compelling thought processes. One is carefully composed and calculated contemplation. The other is intuitive and unprompted expression.
Many people are surprised to find that these works are often intended to be left outdoors as accent pieces in your garden. At times I have to go to some lengths to explain that the name Glass Garden Mosaics really means that these artworks are intended to placed outdoors. The materials I use in these creations are selected for their durability as well as their beauty. Take a look at some pieces in their natural environment, in the garden.
If you are interested in a specific style or theme please send me your ideas and requirements. Send an email to Ursula Neufeld neufeldu@mts.net so we can discuss the project.
