My name is Dolores Gonzalez-Jarvis
My business name is Mujeres Gonzalez Art is very special, because when I’m creating my sister and my mother are with me in spirit both past away decades ago.
I am a self-taught pique assiette (broken from plates and stain glass) mosaic artist. I create unique mosaic art and home décor from found objects.
I was born and raised in the gulf coast of Texas, in the tiny town of Robstown. Whether wallpapering a room, sewing clothing for my children or gardening, I always had the urge to create.
After raising a family and pursuing a career in social work, I discovered the craft of mosaic and object collage. Having always been a scavenger of sorts, I started to collect dinnerware, mirrors and stain glass to repurpose in my mosaic art. I have a passion for color, texture and pattern - as seen in my work and home.
I adore shopping at flea markets and thrift stores. It is in that search for the perfect object that my mosaic/collage inspiration begins. When I discover a discarded treasure that I can re-work into something beautiful, my spirit soars.
Mosaic art is a beautiful art form, provoking emotions, inspiration, contemplation, and
Particularly exciting is seeing your finished art. The addition of grouting, cleaning, and polishing combines to enhance the design and compliment the piece.
Challenging…For me, it is how I will work with the ‘flow’ of the design, how I will cut each piece of glass, and placement so that the art has movement.
Each piece of art has a unique feel to it. It is one-of-a-kind. Art brings warmth, humanity, character, and inspiration into spaces, whether it be your home, office, or commercial entity. Purchasing beautiful things enhances the atmosphere in all living spaces.
My current offering includes Mosaic/Glass on Glass mosaic all one-of-a -kind pieces by hand in my home studio in Corpus Christi, Texas.
