Virgene Tyrrell - Mosaics

I have been creating mosaics for 20 years, but I’ve loved making things my whole life. I’m mainly self-taught, but, early on I was awarded an Emerging Art Grant which allowed me to mentor with a very well known mosaic artist, Cassie Edmonds. I’ve displayed my art in galleries and art shows in Kansas, Minnesota, Texas and  Missouri.  My mosaic suns have appeared on CBS Sunday Morning as transition pieces seven times, with one of my mosaics making the producer’s top 32 (as documented in the article “Here Comes the Sun.”) I love creating mosaics from my own photos, as well as making abstract pieces. I especially enjoy sharing my love of mosaics through teaching classes. I have worked over the years in a small basement room, to various rooms I’ve taken over in our houses, to, currently, an actual studio we had built in our backyard. I Love Mosaics!
