Discovering Mosaic

I had the opportunity to help create a collaborative mosaic 

 back in 2011 when I was working for Vibe of Portland, 

a nonprofit arts and music educational organization with the mission to 

"Empower Portland's Underserved Youth through Art & Music." 

Teaching artist for Vibe, Leslie Barnum (see below), headed up this project. 

This was the first time I came into contact with this medium. 

I am so grateful for this hands-on introduction to mosaic because it  
inspired me to explore this art form more seriously two years later.

Thank you Leslie! 

I didn't get to see the finished mosaic until I visited 

Portland three years later, in 2015 (see below).
