Original mosaic art by clare green
Based at The Gap, I describe creating mosaics as a reflection of my passion for life with its “boundless possibilities”.
Over the years, I have developed quite a unique and contemporary mosaic style where those tiny pieces of hand-cut glass together act as a window to the beauty and drama of acrylic painting on canvas – Melded Glass. I also create vibrant and practical art pieces including table runners, bird baths, garden and party bowls, and mirrors.
It has been a joy to complete a number of commissions for public and private pieces over the years including a piece for Brisbane City Council during the renovation of City Hall, and for Redlands City Council’s IndigiScapes Centre.
Outside of my mosaic art exhibitions and commissions, weekly mosaic classes are run from my home studio.All pieces in my portfolio are either available for purchase or can be recreated to your colour and style.

Art with PASSION
Each commissioned piece has a lot of heart in it, bespoke art - by me for you.
modern MOSAICS
My modern mosaics are primarily created using 3mm glass,
Tesserae such as smalti, ceramic, stone, or other materials can also be used in any mosaic. Pre-loved and sentimental pieces such as china and pottery can be incorporated to create an mosaic design.
MELDED GLASS ART

Red smalti
SMALTI mosaics
Smalti is traditional hand-cut mosaic glass. Smalti is made by mixing glass and various minerals according to traditional recipes and melting the mixture in a furnace. The molten glass is then poured onto a slab for cooling, and cut by hand into rectangular pieces. Mosaics created with smalti and not grouted.
What my Clients Say
"I was very fortunate to have Clare recommended to me many years ago at a time when I was looking for someone who could interpret the vision I had, and produce an individual one-off piece of mosaic art matching my thoughts.
Clare has now completed 4 commissions for me all of which are individual unique pieces which can only be described as breathtaking.
I am exceptionally pleased to recommend Clare to you."

"The care, personalisation and craftsmanship that Clare put into my commissioned piece was unmatched. Every detail is executed very precisely and I love how the art seems to hold onto the warmth, charm, and whimsy that Clare gave to the entire process of creating the piece.”
