Mosaic New Mexico

Dina Afek

I am a health and life coach, recently retired attorney, grandmother and wife. Creating mosaics with used Nespresso coffee capsules is my first ever artistic pursuit and it has become a passion.  I started collecting the colorful aluminum capsules over ten years ago, only knowing that I would create something with them once I retire. After much trial and error, I am happy to have found a technique to create mosaics with the used capsules. The coffee ground enriches my garden and I only use found or discarded objects as canvas for my art. Being  at the very beginning of my artistic journey, I was thrilled that my piece "The Three Sisters"  made it into the Sierra Club's 2021 Recycled Art Exhibit.
