Rendlen Fine Mosaics evolved after a long career in art. Upon graduation from Kansas
City Art Institute ('82) with a major in Sculpture, I began painting
scenery and props. My partner suggested we do this with smaller brushes and in
homes. We became experts in murals and tromp l’oeil and were very
fortunate to be commissioned to do some amazing and unique projects (see Custom
Murals and Painting) in Kansas City and Chicago. After 25 years in residential
and commercial work, I began looking for something that would allow me to spend
less time "laboring on ladders." When I was approached to
do a mosaic back splash, I accepted. After a great deal of research with
all types of tiles, I created a Tuscan landscape. When the project was
installed, knew I had found my calling. Mosaics combine the tactile
construction of sculpture, the vision of painting, and the timeless permanence
that I had been searching for in art.
