A Mosaic of Gratitude: Honoring the many Artists!

By Christine KenneallyPublished On: November 26, 2025

The studio has been a lively place this fall! It has been amazing to watch and support as these works have evolved, and to enjoy the company of many inspiring people.

I’m excited to share this collection of mosaics made in my workshops by student/artists this fall. There was a workshop on Mosaics Inspired by Nature that met on Wednesday mornings, a workshop on Mosaic Quilts that met on Thursday evenings, and many Stepping Stones, made in Saturday workshops.

There are endless ways to see beauty in the world and each artist expresses their vision, piece by piece, in this rewarding process. Congratulations to: Nanci, Juanita, Cathey, Tiffany, Marcia, Robin, Sue, Nancy, Ann, Donnabelle, Mary, Dee, Alice, Joyce, Carol, Linda, Tiffany, Kate, Emma, Wendy, Lucy, Sarah, Bonnie, Alison, Sharon, Amy, Martha and Jo Ann. I am grateful to each of you for allowing me to share in your creative process over the past few months, and honored to share the beauty you created. It’s been such a pleasure working with all of you.

Here are some testimonials from students about their experience:

As we head into the holiday season, and I wrap up my teaching for the year, I feel moved to express my gratitude. A huge thank you to everyone who has followed my work as an artist and to those who have come to the studio to take a workshop. I am so honored to be able to witness the creative process unfold piece by piece. Holding space as others find their own beauty brings joy and purpose to my life.

I’ll be working on a large commissioned project in my studio this winter. Stay tuned, as I’ll probably share work in progress photos sometime in January.

Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season, filled with warmth, light and love.

I learned much more than I ever expected. Not only about mosaics, but about my creative abilities. I went into the class thinking I had none, but Christine pushed me to think outside the box and develop my creativity.

Christine is the best art teacher I’ve ever had. Her method of presenting techniques and information is so clear, and she has a terrific studio. I loved the class, it combines color , shape, texture and composition and wasn’t intimidating to learn. It was so much fun!

Christine is a great teacher- very organized, prepared, caring, talented, patient, instructive and inspiring. The class was perfect. She addressed everyone’s needs in a very individual way. I learned a tremendous amount.

Christine helped me to integrate who I thought I was with who I really am, or could be. She gently and compassionately steered me in the direction of my deeper truth. Her wise and non-judgemental mentoring left me feeling freer to risk being truer to myself.

Christine created a safe space and offered guidance that helped me have a deeper understanding of myself. I appreciate how present she was during our session and the genuine sense of connectedness I experienced. The insights she provided caused me to reflect, and reminded me to look within when seeking guidance. Her positive energy, calm demeanor, and kind nature resonated throughout our session.
