Meet Anne
The Grand Opening of Everything Mosaic NZ - a one day workshop followed by a celebration with family and friends. That's me with the apron on.
I love sharing my knowledge and passion for mosaics with others.
My online site – Everything Mosaic - evolved from my successful workshops teaching the art of mosaic. People kept asking for more and I couldn't let them down. In order to support my past, present and future students as well as anyone else interested in exploring this wonderful art form I decided to provide a one stop shop for all their mosaic needs. Everything you ever wanted to know about this wonderful art form.
I come from a teaching background and my passion for mosaic developed by wanting to explore different ways of expressing myself. You could say I have always been “crafty” but had neither the time nor the confidence to try new things. Teaching, my family and my garden were my creative outlets.
When I left teaching to explore other career options the one thing I dearly missed was the creativity and excitement of teaching. I hadn't realised that such a big whole would be left in my life. I needed a new creative outlet.
Mosaics came to the rescue. When I discovered mosaics I was inspired by my success and by encouragement from family and friends. My confidence and ability have continued to grow from strength to strength.
When creating I am taken into another world where all my attention is focused on the piece I am working on. When I am teaching I feel excited, invigorated and inspired by the fantastic unique art everyone in the class creates. I love being able to share in the joy and satisfaction my students feel when they have completed their mosaic piece.
I hope you too find joy in creating mosaic art.

Getting Started
To get started you need to trust in your ability and have an open mind.
I believe everyone can create. I didn't believe it about myself at first but my adventures with mosaics has taught me that although we are all at different stages of our creative journey we are all capable of creating unique work.
As we are influenced by the work of others and by the world around us we begin to develop our own unique style. Don’t be disappointed if a piece doesn't work out as you planned because you will learn something with every project you tackle. Like life, your mosaic journey is a work in progress.
This website has been created to support you in your journey. Join me in creating a sharing community where we learn from each other, are inspired and have fun.
Share your story of how you started your mosaic journey.

Where to Find My Work
I currently have pieces on display at the Pollok Gallery, Awhitu, Yard Art in Paerata, and The Steel Gallery in Pukekohe.
I received 2nd place at the 2013 Franklin Arts Festival for my piece entitled "Love" and will feature as the Month of December page in the 2014 calendar (at the printers as we speak).

You may be wondering where in New Zealand I am I live on the beautiful Awhitu Peninsula - 90 minutes south west of Auckland, New Zealand, with my lovely husband, adorable dog and 8 delightful chickens. We are in the process of transforming a once barren 7 acre piece of farmland back into its natural native self. Precious time is divided between full time jobs, part time creative activities and planting native trees as well as all the other myriad jobs that need to be done on a small block of land. |
