Mosaic New Mexico

Gayle Elaine Scott

 

I was born and raised in southern New Mexico and have since lived in close proximity to Albuquerque.
Art in some form or another has always been part of my life and upon retiring from 33 years of working for the telephone company I devote myself to experimenting with many types of media. A fascination with mosaics at a young age caused me to create my first one in 3rd grade using cut up linoleum pieces. Now I utilize tile, stained glass, found objects, ceramics and fused glass.

 

Rather than referring to myself as self-taught, I consider myself to be self-learning as I continuously try new techniques and materials which spur more creative ideas and experimentation.
