    Julie Vernon Mosaics 20 Edwald Road Edwalton Nottingham NG12 4AQ Mob: 07789 456885 Email: [email protected] www.julievernonmosaics.com Artist Statement I am a Nottingham based artist producing contemporary mosaics. I established my practice in 2010 and work with a mixture of materials from vitreous glass and ceramic through to natural marble and slate, often incorporating individual pieces of vintage porcelain or found materials. I am largely inspired by the natural environment and like to work in a freehand and organic way guided by the materials from which I am working. Materials are skilfully cut and shaped by hand, which in turn makes each design unique and a one off. I work on a variety of public and private commissions, schools and community arts projects and run a programme of workshops from my Edwalton studio. Clients include schools, councils, community groups, businesses and a variety of private customers. Professional member of the British Association for Modern Mosaic. My previous career was in marketing and product development so I have strong inter-personal skills and experience in managing projects, working to timescales and budgets.
