About Alicia – Custom Mosaic Artist Specializing in Stained Glass Art

Some discover their talents early in life, while others stumble upon them later. My journey began traditionally—I earned an MBA from UC Berkeley and spent over three decades as a data consultant for Kaiser Permanente. Along the way, I raised a family, enjoyed the company of my beloved standard poodles, and always appreciated art from a distance. Little did I know, I would eventually discover my passion as a custom mosaic artist specializing in stained glass mosaic art.

Discovering My Passion for Mosaic Art

Everything changed when I took a class at Berkeley’s Stained Glass Garden, igniting a creative spark I never knew existed. What began as an exploration quickly turned into my life’s work, creating handcrafted mosaics ranging from personalized pet portraits to custom mosaic furniture and outdoor décor pieces. My mosaics are designed for those seeking meaningful, one-of-a-kind art that celebrates cherished memories, pets, and personal stories.

Capturing Connections Through Stained Glass Mosaics

Every mosaic I create reflects the deep connections I feel with the world around me—whether I’m capturing the spirit of a beloved pet or designing a vibrant mosaic garden bench. I pour my heart into every project, using stained glass to weave together memories, personalities, and emotions. Each piece is not only an artistic expression but also a celebration of life and love.

Customers have shared that my custom pet mosaics have become heartfelt tributes to their furry family members, bringing comfort and joy into their homes and gardens. As one client said, “The mosaic of my dog is not just art—it’s a memory I can cherish forever.” These testimonials drive my passion to continue creating pieces that resonate with people on a personal level.

If you’re searching for a way to honor your pet or add a unique, personal touch to your home, my custom mosaic art provides the perfect solution. Whether it’s a pet memorial mosaic or an eco-friendly garden bench, my work brings meaningful beauty into any space.

Growing My Art in the Community

I’m proud to connect with clients not only through my Etsy store, where I offer a variety of custom mosaics, but also through local art shows and vending events. These opportunities have allowed me to share my work with a wider audience, gaining new customers who are drawn to my animal-themed mosaics, custom furniture, and garden décor.
As one happy client noted, “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.”

I am also excited to offer my services to clients across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, bringing my custom art to homes and gardens near and far.

The Art

I make glass mosaic art and objects that are both beautiful and durable, using unique designs and premium materials. These creations serve as a lasting memory of significant events, special individuals, or beloved pets. Handcrafted at my Berkeley, California workshop, each mosaic is individually designed.

Versatile in nature, my pieces can be placed indoors or outdoors, transforming living spaces into energetically inviting environments. Reflecting and transforming light, my mosaics bring subjects to life with twinkling eyes and a lifelike presence. While I typically work from photos, my aim is not photo-realism, but instead to use exquisite glass to capture each individual’s unique sparkle. Aside from portraits, I also craft intentional memorial art for both humans and animals. This work carries a profound significance for me, as it frequently brings solace and comfort to those in grief, encapsulating the essence of a loved one within a tangible keepsake.

While much of my work is custom and commissioned, I occasionally undertake personal projects fueled by the desire to capture a subject, event or emotion in mosaic glass. Contact me at Down to Earth Mosaics, and let’s discuss a mosaic project that truly speaks to your heart.
