Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website. I'm delighted to introduce myself as Jenny May, an emerging mosaic artist deeply passionate about the art of mosaic creation. I’d also like to introduce you to my daughter, Kathryn Linck who is a talented bead artist.
Although we are very different Artists, in order to save dollars we decided to join forces and work together on our social media and website platforms.
Our current endeavors are similar, we are both actively expanding our artistry by taking bold steps towards sharing knowledge and profound love for our equally captivating art forms.
We invite you on our journey’s
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Loa Tzer.
We will document and share 'our journeys' both here on this platform and through our dedicated blog. Please stay tuned, as there are some exciting developments on the horizon.
Jenny’s Story
My journey into the world of mosaic art commenced in 2008, igniting a profound passion within me. Upon completing my inaugural mosaic piece, 'Rita,' I found myself captivated by the art form and driven to explore its rich history, discovering its enduring presence throughout time. The more I delved into this fascinating world, the more I hungered for knowledge, realizing the sheer wonder it held.
My commitment to mastery remains unwavering, and I've dedicated extensive hours to refining my skills within my studio. My quest for expertise has led me to consume a plethora of literature on the subject, and I'm excited to share my favorite resources on a dedicated webpage. Additionally, my pursuit of excellence has taken me on journeys across the United States and Canada, where I've had the privilege of learning from accomplished mosaic artists. I've also been an enthusiastic attendee of the annual SAMA Conference; my fifth participation was in Detroit, MI in May 2017. While I regrettably missed the Boston conference in 2018, I'm looking forward to attending the newly merged SAMA and SGAA 2024 Conference. 2023 is in Buffalo this year. So close - but I simply can’t afford the time away from my current project. My membership in SAMA has enriched me with knowledge and connected me with a warm, welcoming, and creative community of fellow artists.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to partake in numerous workshops, recognizing that the world of mosaic art is boundless in its opportunities for growth and exploration.
One notable milestone in my journey was the creation of my first commissioned work and my most extensive project to date: a striking 3' x 5' triptych. For this endeavor, I ingeniously incorporated discarded materials from my client's new home construction site, including Tiger granite stone, porcelain tile, and black stones. These elements seamlessly integrated with other central design elements, such as mirrors, glass, and striking copper bursts.
