I was really honored just to be included in the show, and when I saw a ribbon next to my piece my jaw really hit the floor. I feel really validated with this award. My mosaic work and style is sort of untraditional among mosaic artists. I am really more of a mixed media artist using my computer, collage elements (created in photoshop) and glass to create works that I feared could be seen as too crafty for the fine art world and too mixed media-ish for the fine craft mosaic word. With this recognition I have decided it is time to put those worries to rest and just keep playing.

This mosaic is very cool! Before I started making mosaics, I did collages with magazine paper, and your mosaics seem like the best of both those world. And I'm glad you plan to keep playing!

Way to go Rebecca!!
It's a fantastic piece!!
Congratulations, girl! That's fantastic! I have often had the same internal conversation about where mosaic belongs in the art/craft world, or maybe where it is *perceived* to belong. I love the idea of just not worrying about it and to just CREATE. Go you! I'm still planning my next mosaic in my head. It's been too long since I made one...
Congrats again, Rebecca! Such wonderful recognition. :-)
Thanks everyone!
