| Introduction | My name is Dolores Gonzalez-Jarvis and I am a self-taught pique assiette (broken from plates) mosaic and collage artist. I create unique mosaic/collage art and home décor from found objects. I was born and raised in the gulf coast of Texas, in the tiny town of Robstown. Whether wallpapering a room, sewing clothing for my children or gardening, I always had the urge to create. After raising a family and pursuing a career in social work, I discovered the craft of mosaic and object collage. Having always been a scavenger of sorts, I started to collect dinnerware, mirrors and shells to repurpose in my mosaic art. I have a passion for color, texture and pattern - as seen in my work and home. I adore shopping at flea markets and thrift stores. It is in that search for the perfect object that my mosaic/collage inspiration begins. When I discover a discarded treasure that I can re-work into something beautiful, my spirit soars |
