Featured Artist - Judy Mayberry

If you haven't visited our Featured Artist section, you really should. There is a ton of inspiration around every corner.

Judith Mayberry creates some amazing work. She actually made my favorite mosaic piece ever. It is Mums Vase shown on her artist page.

Judy Mayberry lives on Lake Pennessewasee in Norway, Maine with her husband Don (who is a Congregational Minister) and two daughters who are in college. She graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and considered herself a fiber artist (weaving and needlework) before taking up Mosaics about six years ago. Both forms of art are very tactile which is why it was such an easy transition.

In her Mosaics she uses mostly vitreous glass and her favorite mosaics to make are rural scene murals. She makes small objects like trivets and plant pots, but tends to gravitate towards kitchen and bathroom back splashes, shower surrounds, mirrors, small murals and tables. Making "permanent" artwork in homes has been a new adventure but a hard way to show off her work! Most of Judy's artwork is by commission, but she usually has a variety of mosaics available for sale from her studio located in her home.

Judy is so talented and I am thrilled that she uses our products in many of her custom works of art.
