9 Laura Harris was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1961.  Laura has been working in mixed media, including fiber art, acrylic art and mosaic art for over 25 years.  More recently, Laura has concentrated on mosaic portrait art.  She uses a direct method of application whereas each piece of tessera is permanently adhered to a substrate.  After sketching out a design, each individual piece of tessera is hand cut to create unique mosaics.  Her tesserae include venetian and dichroic glass, 24 Kt. Italian gold smalti, porcelain, ceramic tile, mirror, stone and salvaged or recycled materials.  Although handicapped with MS, first diagnosed in 1985, Laura has risen above her physical limitations to create fine art mosaic pieces that encapsulate the heart and soul of the subject matter.

10 According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest nail mosaic is a 2 meter by 4 meter portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, which consist of about 500,000 industrial nails and weighs 400.

14 Strati was born in Tirana, Albania
Strati was born in Tirana, Albania.He began his career doing restorations in Albania to several mosaics at the archeological sites. He is a member of the British Association of Modern Mosaic.  Strati is primarily a mosaic artist but is also a painter. He has used a variety of materials including from toothpicks to eggshells, compact discs and porcelain. He is heavily inspired by music, and in the mosaic series ‘The Four Seasons' is based on the Vivaldi concerto, each season is represented by a different musical instrument. This series was created over the course of more than five years. Another work on oil depicts traditional Albanian Polyphonic singers. 'The King' is a portrait of Elvis Presley measuring nearly 2 meters in height and uses over 400 CD's. His work 'Sea Girl' is based on a legend from Vlora, his hometown. The story is about a young woman separated from her lover. She prays to become a fish to cross the sea to reunite with him. The artwork itself is made from sea glass which took the artist several years to collect. 'Peace' is a quintessential work of the artist, where the mirror fragments used in the mosaic reflects the message of our relation to peace samir-strati

40 Anne Patterson American, b. 1960 "Everything should be made as simple as possible... but not simpler." - Albert Einstein Anne Patterson has said “My art is a response to the natural world. Whether through painting, sculpture or installation I try to render into a physical form my reality - the immense light of the sun, the movement of the rippling leaves, the abstract shape of the crashing waves against the rocks. Often my work is a visual response to a specific piece of music. I have synesthesia – I see an incredible magnificence of colors and shapes when I hear music, the smells of spring trigger a play of light in my mind and my primary numbers have personalities. I strive to create work that transports us into a multi-sensory realm, similar to that which I’ve inhabited for my entire life, and deepens our relationship to the beauty around us.”
