Barbara Bush Children's Hospital Mural is in it's New Home!

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Tuesday, November 8, 2011, In : Children's Hospital Mural 


I went to see the mosaic I did for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital today, and it looks wonderful in it's new home! It's located in the atrium, which is not a public area. The children's rooms open up on to the atrium, and it's a lovely big space, flooded with natural light from it's glass ceiling. It was so nice to see my piece hanging.. and the carpentry department did a wonderful job building the frame! I hope it brings a lot of enjoyment to everyone who sees it!

New Gallery & Moving and Grooving Murals

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, In : Children's Hospital Mural 


This weekend, I'm delivering my Autumn Tree mosaic window, and a few other pieces, to "Maine Art Gallery", in Kennebunkport Maine. It's always exciting to start working with a new gallery, and I've heard wonderful things about them. Here's to hoping that my window will find a new, happy home this Autumn.

If you're around Kennebunkport, stop by... it looks like an amazing gallery space!



The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital Mural was picked up today by the Carpentry Team. They're almost finishe...

Grout Grout Grout

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Sunday, October 2, 2011,
It's been a busy weekend around here! In amongst daily life with a husband, two kids, pets, and activities, I've also been working like crazy in the studio. Two of the three Children's Hospital mural panels are now grouted! That's 5 feet x 4.5 feet of grouting done yesterday. The total of all the panels is 5'x7'. I'm grouting the final panel today, and then tomorrow I'll be working on the many color washes that will be applied to the grout. I can't wait for that step! Here's a little look... ...

Off to Boston

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Saturday, September 24, 2011,
I finished up my tree house mosaic yesterday... 6 grout colors later. Yes... there are 6 grout colors on that piece. I was commissioned by Latitude Gallery (Newbury Street, Boston) to do this piece. It's going to be installed in the general medicine department of the Boston Children's Hospital. This lucky one will be put behind a glass panel. Will be interesting to see the finished installation!



This week, I also sent off a house number sign to Washington State. I think that I'm taking a brea...

Surf Board Mosaic Project

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Saturday, August 13, 2011, In : Surf Board Project 


There is an organisation in Portsmouth NH that contacted me. They are called Surfscapes, and are gathering old, used surf boards, and giving them to artists to "beautify". Then, they will gather the boards, and turn them into public park benches. The benches will be auctioned off to Portsmouth businesses. The businesses will install them outdoors, and with a plaque of the artists the created each one. I'm honoured that they asked me to do a board for them!

 I decided to do a "sea creatu...

Barbara Bush Children's Hospital Mural

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Saturday, August 13, 2011, In : Children's Hospital Mural 
For the past months, intermingled with moving to our wonderful new 1800's beach house, and summer vacation, I've been working on a mosaic mural for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital. I'm hoping to have all the glass put on it over the next week, and I'll post more photos of my progress along this mosaic marathon coming up. The mural measures a little over 5 feet x 7 feet. I've loved seeing this one evolve!

About Me


Amanda Edwards I'm a stained glass & mixed media mosaic artist living on a beautiful beach in Southern Maine, with my husband & two children. Simply put, I love glass. I love the textures, variety of colors, shapes, sizes, reflections, even the sound it makes when I’m scoring and cutting it. Glass allows me to take a thousand little pieces of color and turn them into a flowing representation of my very active imagination.

Please come over and follow me on Facebook! Thank you!
