The pictures below are of 5 panels that went together for our Coverings 2004 show. The overall mural is 18 feet long and nearly 7 feet high. See below for composite of entire mural.

The theme was taken from Klimpt's large Tree of Life mural. The central panel, the tree is rendered in broken stone fragments and is wrapped in a double helix that is mad up of many pieces of semi-precious stones such as tiger's eye, lapis and pink quartz. The far left panel of large calla lilies is made entirely of glass mosaics. Panel #2 shows a woman looking to her counterpart in panel #4. Her skin as wit the woman in Panel #5 is made up of tiny pieces of marble mosaics. The crescents floating in the granite mosaic background is mother of pearl. The peacock in the last panel is made using ceramics and marble pieces.  

The mural demonstrates our abilities with all types of mosaics and styles.
