Artist’s Statement

"My love for mosaics and tile truly started as a little girl. I would visit my mother at where she was employed as a mosaic mural designer and installer. I would sit with her and help fill in the coloured glass tiles. Those experiences were the closest I ever had to any formal training in mosaic technique. To this day, those are some of my fondest memories and, with my mother's passing away, I believe that she would be very happy to see me go back to her art roots."

Tile and mosaic artist Lundy Dale combines one of her favourite pastimes - gardening and her love of flowers, dragonflies, ladybugs and landscapes to produce her one-of-a-kind whimsical and colourful pieces. She applies elements of a vibrant colour palette using a mixed medium of glass and hand-painted ceramic tiles, which are then painted with porcelain paint and bonded together with colourful grout. The pieces are framed in either a wood, metal or glass mosaic to unify the art piece.
