Hello everyone,

I hope you are all staying safe and maintaining as much social distancing as possible in this crazy time!




If you would like to become a sponsor of "We the People" and have your name as a permanent fused glass tile in the mosaic, there is still time to make a donation. Just put 'mosaic' in the memo line, and donate through the Natick Center Cultural District (501-c3) at:

Thank you so much and stay healthy!

"We the People"

I am busy working on my next outdoor public art mosaic "We the People" which will hopefully be installed in 2020 on Court Street in Natick Center. Unfortunately, because of CV I cannot invite any of my amazing helpers to join me as I work. This new mosaic will be 41"W x 12'H.

The saying arching over the mosaic in blended skin tones is: "We the People Have a Dream of Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness with Kindness Equality Respect Tolerance Education Freedom and Justice for All". The words in the center interspersed in the colors of the rainbow are: courage, trust, cooperation, family, patience, acceptance, care, equity, community, honor, love, unity, peace, truth and hope.

Thank you to the many donors who participated in the Rotary Club of Natick crowdfunding grant process. I am also grateful to my other wonderful sponsors: Tiles Plus More, Rotary Club of Natick, Middlesex Savings Bank, Libby Construction, Natick Cultural Council, Fair & Yeager Insurance, Cross Insurance, Leese Foundation, Greenberg Family, Kit Cunningham, Beth Byrne, Spark Kindness and many other generous individuals.

Mary McLeod Bethune Chair
A Collaborative Chair made for "A Seat at the Table" Exhibit, honoring Shirley Chisholm, at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston.
Jason Cheeseman-Meyer (painter), Carol (mosaics), and Jeff Olsen (woodworker) were chosen to create one of twenty artistic chairs, each honoring a different notable person. We were assigned Mary McLeod Bethune, who was a trailblazer in the civil rights movement, a lifelong educator of black children, and an advisor to four US Presidents. Our chair will be on exhibit at EMKI through August of 2020.
