Guadalupe
I have portrayed Guadalupe as the âmother of all the creaturesâ. In this mosaic, my birds Anya, Chopra, Fyre, Thrasher, Air-Bender, Piglet, Karma, and my lizard Marco were my models. They are regular visitors to my garden. The âMission In The Sunâ and the Catalina Mountains are in the background of my mosaic. In 1953, artist Ted DeGrazia built and dedicated the mission to Guadalupe. It is on the grounds of his Gallery In The Sun in Tucson, Arizona. The background tiles have impressions of rose lace. Many exotic
glazes and grout colors complete the mosaic.
