You are invited to a special IN PERSON conversation with

Date & Time: October 8, 2024, 7 - 8pm

Location: Kensington Park Library, 4201 Knowles Ave, Kensington, MD 

About the presentation: 

For Beverley, Mosaic Art is a culmination of her creative passions from a very early age, including portraiture, needlepoint, quilting, ceramics, incessant drawing, and love of color & texture.

She will talk about the ancient history of mosaics, the evolution to contemporary mosaic art, her influences and journey.

 About our presenter:

Beverley received her Associates Degree in Graphic Design, Textile Design, and Fine Art from St. Albans College of Art and Design, St. Albans, England, in 1985. She then received a Bachelor of Arts with Honors Degree in Graphic Design from Canterbury College of Art/Kent Institute of Art & Design, Kent, England, in 1988.

Beverley uses many types of media in her mosaics, including glass, ceramics, beads, tiles, and unique found treasures. Because her education and professional background include graphic design, composition is in her nature. She applies this in a 3-dimensional way, creating a detailed extravaganza of tactile shape and color, which is supremely rewarding to her. Beverley is thrilled when people enjoy the artwork she has gained such satisfaction in creating.

Theme:  Autumn Colors and Reflections....

One of the most defining characteristics of the fall season is the new colors that fill the landscape with the falling leaves turning to red, yellow, and orange. Van gogh was struck by the beauty of falling leaves.  Monet 's work Autumn on the Seinene used muted autumnal colors mirrored in the water below.  But let's not limit our subject choices to traditional fall landscapes -- there are exciting cityscapes that incorporate the rich colors of fall too.
