Below is a quote from Brit’s latest blog titled “Behind the
scenes”.

“By now you might know I
work with symbolism in my own artworks (and that they are puzzles). So it goes
without saying that I spoke using symbolism in designing the book. It meant I
looked not just for artworks that were beautiful fine art mosaics, but I also
looked at the titles of the pieces and the stories behind them. For example, the
image opposite the table of contents is
Doreen Adams'
Alice in Wonderland.
Just think about the story and ask yourself how that story relates to what this
book is about... And it's not for nothing that my Life is Beautiful is on
the cover”.
Words of praise from Brit to me.
“Hi there!
First off, thanks so much for working with me on this project!
I'm sincerely proud to have your work in the book, and I really mean it. Your
work is really exceptional and is a testament that mosaic IS a fine art form,
which is what I wanted my book to show to the world.”
Brit, you have given me such a wonderful gift. Thank you.
