Mosaics

Bits of clay, shattered glass mirrors, pieces of tea cups salvaged from yard sales and shells were used to bring the ancient art of mosaics to Mermaids on Parade. What artist Mary Anne Gamboa enjoys is, "Knowing that I am working in an art form more enduring than oil on canvas, or watercolor on paper. That maybe someday in the year 3001, an archeologist will dig through layers of sediment and expose one of my mosaics and wonder about the ancient artist that patiently put all the little pieces together and elevated the commonplace."
