Testimonials
We are filled with joy when we gaze upon our dazzling mosaic column and wish to extend our gratitude for your amazing artwork.
Delaine created some beautiful art to help our building live up to its namesake, Mosaic Garden. The mosaics she created were whimsical, fun, and really brought life to our community spaces.
Thank you Delaine, for creatively working within our budget to deliver such wonderful work. Our residents rather enjoyed watching your process and now get to enjoy your finished pieces every day!
Sadly, we lost Jasmine last November, so I am really pleased we had her portrait done. It has received many compliments and is a lasting tribute to her memory.
The texture of the tile, complexity of design elements plus the beautiful plates gathered from all corners of the world are a wonder to behold. Even now when I gaze upon it I find things I never saw before.
Earl and I redid the front of our house, which included a round concrete ‘pad’ at the base of our front steps. For this, we always envisioned a mosaic, and Earl made a design for it based on a Moorish tiled floor he saw in a book. So, we had the design on paper but had no idea how to put it into reality. Then I met Delaine when I volunteered to help restore a mosaic wall in our neighborhood, and we showed her our idea. She put it together in no time, with great colors and the intricate design we had chosen. She laid out and attached the small tile pieces onto a flexible mesh backing so she could do most of the work in her studio. When she brought the parts over, they were kind of like pieces of a pie – so she attached them onto the step in one day and came back the next day to grout the whole area. We’ve enjoyed this entry into our home for over 3 years. now, so eye-catching and it has also been easy to maintain. We are completely happy with it and also happy to have Delaine as a new friend!
Working with Delaine was a pure delight. She helped us transform a plain concrete retaining wall into a beautiful, colorful mosaic wall and a permanent reminder of our friends and the magic of community. The new wall is a centerpiece of our landscaping and makes our backyard a relaxing refuge. Delaine is the perfect combination of a visual and tactile artist. She is warm, gifted and unpretentious. She’s passionate about her work and enjoys sharing her skills. We are definitely planning on hiring Delaine again for future community art projects.
We commissioned Delaine Mosaics to complete a two-story-tall mosaic art piece on a building exterior overlooking a podium-level outdoor courtyard at Alma Point at Foster Square, an affordable senior community developed, owned, and operated by MidPen Housing in Foster City, CA. Delaine was very professional and a pleasure to work with and was able to work within our budget to design a stunning addition to the building. She provided two initial designs that were whimsical and cheerful while also touching on themes found in the surrounding community and worked with us and our architect as we adapted them to fit our visions and needs. The installation process was equally as smooth and the mosaic pieces are a major focal point of the community.
I love the whimsical nature of Delaine’s work. She captured Tia and Zoey so beautifully, their personalities shining through.
I received the mosaic today. It is absolutely amazing! It far exceeded any expectations I could have imagined. Thank you for capturing Maddie so truly. I can not wait to give this birthday gift to my mom pretty certain it’s going to make her tear 🙂 again thank you so much for creating this sentimental piece.
