Lizz Van Saun

I’m an artist and a teacher and have been sharing my love of building community through the art of mosaic making since 2007. My background as a visual artist with a focus on illustration informs the way I work with mosaics. In my studio I offer small group and private mosaic lessons. I’ll also travel to create a mosaic on site, or work with you at your location to design and build a community style mosaic. When we work together to add our pieces to the mosaic, we connect with each other in way that strengthens and builds communities.

In addition to teaching, I welcome commissions and have created many types of mosaics. Some of the things I’ve made include fireplace surrounds, kitchen and pantry backsplashes, murals, a pizza oven and many framed pieces for display. I use a variety of materials including recycled stained glass, broken dishes, small objects, pre-cut tiles, often combine them. All my work is custom made and no project is too small or large!

I find so much peace and joy in creating and my greatest happiness comes from sharing this with others. I hope to meet you on the road to creativity!
