About Dorothy Edwards - Mosaic Artist
Dorothy "Dot" Edwards started doing mosaics in 1982
but only became seriously involved in using this medium
since year 2000. Dot had moved from Houston, TX to
Sacramento, CA and had too much time on her hands.
She picked up the nippers and started creating.
Dot is a member of the Society of American Mosaic
Artists (SAMA) and the owner of the Mosaic_California
Yahoo group. Dot has participated in shows through the
Institute of Mosaic Art (www.instituteofmosaicart.com),
My Atlantis, and her primary gallery, The Phoenix
Gallery in Sacramento (www.phoneixinsac.com). Dot
has studied with California mosaic artists Laurel Skye,
Ellen Blakeley and other classes at the Institute of
Mosaic Art.
Much of her inspiration comes from her Catholic faith,
incorporating Christian symbols into her art and also
creating geometric and abstract designs.
