Mosaic artist
Kathy Thaden
is inspired to work with
Christian symbols, icons
and sacred imagery.
Working with broken glass
is a transforming process.
The pieces are broken,
change shape, fit together,
and then are made whole
again with glue and grout -
often in unexpected ways.
In our throwaway society,
Kathy is moved to reinvent
discarded items, scrap glass
or chipped mirrors, into
objects of art formed in
prayer. Other mosaics may
also be commissioned and
created from new materials.
