Artist Bio
Welcome to Trish Nugent Mosaic Art, where each piece is a work of art designed to inspire and impress. For over 20 years, I have been creating mosaics that draw inspiration from the natural world. From small, intricate pieces to large installations, my art is a celebration of the beauty and wonder of nature. I work with a variety of materials and techniques to create unique pieces that are all one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for a mosaic artist who can create a piece that’s truly special, get in touch with me today.
