DORAN STUDIO: mosaic art & sculpture
custom designs classes workshops
Katrina Doran creates mosaic art for interior and exterior spaces utilizing the finest materials along with found objects and handmade treasures. All works are unique and designed for a lasting impression. The art of mosaic can be applied to a surface (backsplash, floor inset, wall, table, etc.), made as a wall hanging, or designed as a sculpture.
Mosaic work is an art form that takes time. Each tessera is cut and placed by hand either directly or indirectly using techniques and tools that date back for over 2,000 years. Doran has studied worldwide with modern masters of this fine craft and combines a traditional knowledge and respect with her uncanny eye for detail and intuitive sense of design. Her interest, enthusiasm and passion for this art form is contagious.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I do many different things with my work, from teaching to public and private commissions to the creations I make up on my own. The styles vary and change accordingly. I am most interested in creating curious objects that seem magical, that seem as if they are from another time and place, or might have been something you once dreamed. I believe we can dream together and derive the most pleasure from doing so. My work includes many types of materials from rusted metal scraps to 24k gold glass. The focus and intention for all I do is to create something memorably beautiful.
