Are you a long lost friend from our CYO group that grew up in North Ogden? If so how are you and your sister doing?

Hi Susan. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I always enjoy showing you and Callie my latest mosaics every year. I’m fortunate to have such a great audience. I’m looking forward to helping Callie and her Girl Scout troop on her upcoming mosaic project. That should be lots of fun.

My daughter and I had the good fortune of stumbling upon one of Tucson’s treasures as we began selling Girl Scout Cookies in our neighborhood. We have seen Ginny’s mosaics, sculptures, photos and her animal inspirations over the past four years and count ourselves lucky to have been invited in by our \mosaic lady\ to see her work. We have been awed by the incredible detail she puts into her work. We are also impressed at how she is able to combine glazes onto a single tile to create faces with exquisite beauty, shading, and detail. My favorite (and my son’s) is the mountain lion mosaic, but my daughter loves the Jewel in the Lotus. Although the photos of her work are incredible, they pale in comparison to seeing her art in person. Each year we look forward to seeing what is new. Thank you, Ginny, for sharing with us. You are incredible both as an artist and a person.

Evidently not only in the Galapagos Islands viz the photo of your intrepid cat, sitting in front of a tiger! This reminds me of a little hotel in AddisAbaba in the days of the Emperor and self-styled Lion Of Judah. There, a sleepy lion sat in a small yard, contained on one side by a large glass panel, with a little dog between his front paws, and everytime one passed the glass panel the dog ran to it, barked furiously and then returned to sit between his master’s paws. Your sleepy cat, however, was wearing a woolly hat!

My husband and I have a mosaic of Ginny’s which we commisioned several years ago. It is of tropical birds and flowers. We absolutely love it; but it pales beside her current work which is beyond spectacular. She is a fabulous artist.

An incredibly talented artist whose work deserves to be shared with the world. Each piece of art is unique and has a story to tell. Ginny is a very special person and I want her work to get the recognition it deserves.

Wow Peter---I think now my head is twice the size. Actually, I am sometimes a bit secretive with my talents when I travel. I am most often finding pleasure in the art of other people and taking it all in. While you and Geoff were slaving away at your work, I was either exploring Kathmandu on foot enjoying the sights, sounds and smells (just kidding about the smells), or in the hotel room painting watercolors. I don't think I have ever shown them to anyone. I was experimenting with different techniques. It was my "method of remembering what I saw. Thanks for mentioning my photography. I hope you saw the new gallery of photos I created in my website with the photos I took in the Galapagos Islands. This link will take you directly to that page. http://www.mossrothwellfineart.com/gallery/23263/Animals . I've always been a fan of iguanas. I was in heaven with those gorgeous land and marine iguanas and spent many hours “being” with them. It was an absolutely amazing experience to be in a place where animals aren't afraid. What a freedom to walk about them and observe. I will be using my "iguana models" in upcoming mosaics soon. In my mind's eye, I can see those textured tiles and exotic glazes. Thanks again for all you said about me and for your friendship

Thanks for the great compliments Jane. Jane resides in Bristol, England, but has traveled extensively with her husband David in his work to many exotic places I have not seen. It was so nice to have someone with your excellent sense of humor and taste in friends–ha–to share the exploration of Tashkent. We did cover a lot of territory both on foot and in the intricately mosaic-tiled underground subways. The goverment didn’t allow me to take photos in the underground, or I would have. They were gorgeous, and yet another inspiration for my mosaics. Loved the open markets and the people we met, and so enjoyed the Tashkent Ballet. Did I ever tell you I saw Swan Lake 13 times? I hope you will write a book about your travels. You have a real talent for writing.

Hi Babs!!! Yeah, we go back some years. We were both studying Fashion Merchandising at the U.of U. and on the sidelines exploring our mutual interests in arts and crafts. We even traveled to Hawaii a few times together when we were very young. Hmmm…I think I’m having an idea for a new mosaic.
