         Commissions         

Unique commissions for business or home

Whether it is a hotel lobby wishing to create an impact or welcoming space for guests, panels and mirrors to lift a restaurant or home or sculptures for a large foyer or entrance hall, the possibilities for mosaic transformation are endless. Commissions vary from bespoke pieces for private clients, gifts and awards for organisations through to large scale sculptures and panels for corporate clients and public spaces.  Anne often incorporates artefacts into her works that have been donated by or have a connection with the people and location of each project.  These can be anywhere from a hotel lobby which needs a more welcoming feel to panels/mirrors in a restaurant or sculptures for a foyer in a large company. One off pieces can be individual sculptures and awards which can be held in one hand or a panel to cover a kitchen. It is all possible and can be on any scale. Bespoke site specific pieces, gifts and awards…….
