Artist and friend of mine, Mickey Fernandez, has been working with me to create some truly gorgeous mosaics. She has had my photographs printed on tile to create gorgeous Madonnas, figures that are feminine and lovely, strong and powerful. She uses different types and colors of tile, Mexican tin milagros and mirrors, and beads, framed in beautiful ornamental tin. She is such an inspiration!
The first in the series, "Our Lady of Sacred Heart".
