A Journey of Art and Connection

“Each mosaic I create is a visual prayer—honoring beloved animals, sacred archetypes, and the deeper stories that shape our lives.”

About Alicia – Custom Mosaic Artist Specializing in Stained Glass Art

Rooted in Love, Crafted in Light

I’m Alicia Taylor Low, a custom mosaic artist specializing in soulful stained glass mosaic art. My work is deeply personal—each piece is a tribute to memory, connection, and love. From pet portraits to spiritual memorials, I use glass to tell stories that matter.


Finding My Way to the Art I Was Meant to Make

I didn’t grow up dreaming of being an artist. I earned an MBA from UC Berkeley, built a long career as a data consultant for Kaiser Permanente, raised a family, and filled my life with dogs—especially my beloved standard poodles. I’ve always admired artists—but for most of my life, I thought I was someone who just appreciated creativity from the sidelines.

Then I took a mosaic class at Berkeley’s Stained Glass Garden. That one experience flipped a switch I didn’t know existed. I wasn’t just making things—I was remembering a part of myself I hadn’t yet met. Piece by piece, I found my passion, my voice, and a whole new path.


Creating Mosaics That Hold Meaning

Today, I create custom mosaics that reflect the stories we carry and the relationships that shape us. I specialize in:

  • Custom stained glass pet portraits that celebrate the deep bond between people and their animals

  • Intentional memorial art for both pets and people—offering comfort and a tangible sense of presence

  • One-of-a-kind mosaic objects like garden stepping stones and benches, made to hold love, memory, and light

Every mosaic is handcrafted in my Berkeley studio using stained glass, beads, upcycled jewelry, and what I call soulful findings. These aren’t just materials—they’re echoes of past lives, transformed into something luminous and new.


A Visual Prayer, A Lasting Tribute

I don’t aim for photo realism. Instead, I try to capture something more elusive—the twinkle in the eye, the softness of memory, the soul of a being. Many clients come to me looking to honor a beloved companion, mark a transition, or simply hold on to a meaningful moment. These mosaics become daily reminders of love and life that continue.

“The mosaic of my dog is not just art—it’s a memory I can cherish forever.”


Art in the Community and Beyond

You’ll find my work online via my Etsy store, at local art shows and vending events around the Bay Area, and soon, in a growing collection of public and private spaces. I’m grateful every time someone connects with a piece and sees something of their own story in the glass.

“I first saw Alicia’s work at a local show, and the intricate details of her mosaics completely captivated me. I knew I had to have a piece for my home.” —Happy Collector

Crafted to Last. Created to Shine.

Each mosaic I create is handmade in my Berkeley, California studio using premium materials and deeply personal design. Built to last and made to matter, these pieces are just as at home in the garden as they are on your wall.

Whether it’s a custom pet portrait, a memorial stepping stone, or a personal piece honoring someone you love, my mosaics are designed to reflect light—and life. I work from your photos, not to recreate them exactly, but to capture your subject’s unique spark and soulful presence.

Beyond portraits, I also create intentional memorial art for both humans and animals—offering comfort, remembrance, and beauty in one lasting keepsake.

If something in my work speaks to you, I’d love to hear your story and explore what we can create together.
