My husband and I have friends that live in Phoenix, AZ, and boy does it feel good to visit there in February. When one lives in Seattle, a trip to the desert in the middle of winter is always welcome!
It was after visiting there this past February that I came home and made these tiles. I love the cool turquoise against the hot red and orange--it reminds me of the red Phoenix soil against the crystal clear sky.
To see how these tiles look with different solid colored tiles and different grout colors, please visit our etsy shop:

JUDY: Passionate about art from childhood, I love both creating art and admiring others' art. I've been a fused glass artist for two years, after teaching high school English for twelve years. I love playing with whimsical designs and free-flowing pieces, such as mosaics, as well as the geometric precision of pieces inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Josef Albers.

WENDY: Art has always terrified me. The
self-inflicted pressures of creating something beautiful, perfect,
meaningful, and forever lasting is quite a toll to measure up to. Art
is often an intimate experience, easily allowing the uneasy feelings of
vulnerability. It is only in this journey of acceptance and finding the
courage to let go that allows that which is within to come forth. In
not only accepting the imperfect but appreciating and fully embracing
it, I am able to move forward with my work, freely relishing the joy
and freedom that creativity yields. It is this perpetual tug-of-war
between the controlled and wild freedom that my work teeters upon. Art
in any form is my passion, and it is my great pleasure to share it with
you.
