Laura 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 gladly
accepted. After a great deal of research with all types of tiles, I created a Tuscan landscape. When the
project was installed, I 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.
