Artist's Kitchen Tile Mural

This tile project was created for the artist's home-kitchen.  The family's criteria was to include family pets, flowers and fruit treees of the garden.

The flora include sunflowers, hollyhocks, narcissus, forget-me-nots, California poppies, Naked Ladies, geraniums. There are persimmon, apricot and citrus trees. The fauna include cats, chickens, toads and lizards. The stylization was inspired by a favorite Finnish glassware pattern called "Flora". The glaze colors were selected to harmonize with the kitchen's pre-existing rangehood, countertops, wood cabinets, painted finishes, and floor tile.
