Expressions through Mosaics and Collage Art
From stained glass, ceramics, paper prints and fabric, to tempered glass and trinkets, Elena uses a combination of materials to produce expressive, unique works of art.
Hi there!
I'm Maria-Elena.
Most people call me Elena. I'm a Canadian based mixed media mosaic artist. With a background in the healing arts, I have led multiple community art projects and I'm always eager to work on new projects.
My personal studio work is ever evolving and derives from traveling and life experiences. I use the connection of objects, texture, and colour to express and celebrate the huge diversity we have in our world.
Over the years, I have developed a collection of D.I.Y. kits available for everyone, at any skill level to try mosaic art.
I invite you to try it out.
