About Anna Meyrick Mosiacs
"There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments,
cellularly, like a laborious mosaic."
Anais Nin
Creating art has been a lifelong journey intertwined with my rural Oregon childhood. With a background in arts and crafts coupled with fine art training, I graduated with my BA in Arts & Letters from Portland State University in 1999
Proficient in various mediums, I explore drawing, painting, ceramics, collage, mosaic, and concrete sculpture. Drawn to historical artifacts and spiritual symbols, my art resists fixed interpretation, inviting viewers to explore new dimensions of meaning.
Exploring the intricate connection between past and present, I acknowledge the perpetual reworking of ancient patterns in art. Through a dynamic dialogue with diverse influences, my work aspires to evoke a profound consciousness of emotions and ideas, transcending the limitations of language.
Rooted in my Oregon upbringing, I harbor a deep affection for color, inspired by nature's ever-shifting hues. The allure of twilight, evening colors, and the essence of magic captivate me. In my mosaic work, I express these sentiments using stained glass, precious stones, and assorted mixed media materials.
My art embraces found objects, personal elements, and a medley of mediums to craft landscapes and emotions that are simultaneously familiar and foreign—capturing the essence of the sublime. Themes of nature, dichotomies, and oppositions persist, reflecting the societal conflicts in our hyper-real world.
As an introverted individual, I navigate the personal path, resonating with the collective consciousness that unites us all. Influenced by my zodiac sign Cancer, I perceive my role as illuminating shared inner workings. The evolution of my art mirrors the journey of my life—navigating challenges, creating, and forging my unique path forward.
