About the Artist
Vickie Voiers Morrow
Clay, tile, mosaic and assemblage Artist
Las Cruces, NM – tileartmosaic.com - vickie@tileartmosaic.com
I see things not for what they are, instead for what they can be.
The hunt and gathering is a joy in the creative process. There is as much fun and creative thought in “making the parts” from handmade tiles or beads, rusting the piece or fabric, creating patina on metals, making paper to weaving wire parts.
Finally, all the pieces come together creating an assemblage appealing to the eye, the heart or a memory.
In the past I have spent most of my time in ceramics and handmade tile mosaics including art pieces, table tops, kitchens and bathrooms and residential installations.
Public and commercial art includes work in hospitals, under freeways in pedestrian areas, community centers, resorts, golf clubs and casinos.During these times I had work in Scottsdale, Fountain Hills and Sedona, Arizona and participated in Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour and Camelback Studio Tour.
One of my biggest honors and the most fun was being selected to be on HGTV in an episode of Colorful Kitchens. The other biggest honor is being included with fifty international mosaic artists in Schiffer Publishing Art Coffee Table book, Mosaic Art Today.
Recently I bought a studio with a home attached and moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico from Scottsdale, AZ. I spend my creative time in my rust laboratory in my back yard and my studio where I have a fabulous view of the mountains.
You can explore my current work at Agave Artists Cooperative Gallery and The Hood in Mesilla, New Mexico and vickiemorrow.com and tileartmosaic.com There will be workshops and upcoming art classes scheduled here.
