Sue Purnell creates individual, originally designed and handcrafted mosaic pieces. Her passion for mosaics comes from the
breathtaking patterns which can be seen when light is passed
through tiny handcut pieces of coloured glass. Sue sees the
true essence of each piece in the vibration emanating from
the movement of the unique design. Her art focus has moved
through many mediums from silk-screening, watercolour,
mixed media, paper making and
