Laurie Reiss’s unique mosaic creations blend artistry with the organic beauty found in nature and the wonders encountered in  everyday life.

She incorporates a variety of materials, from stained glass and Mexican Smalti to hand-made ceramics, stone, beads, shells and other found objects. Her mosaics range from realistic and painterly compositions to abstract forms that evoke emotion and curiosity. Each piece tells a story—a visual narrative woven together by shards of glass and other treasures.

Beyond her studio, Laurie offers custom commissions. Collaborating with clients, she brings their visions to life, infusing her mosaics with personal stories and memories.

Additionally, Laurie shares her expertise through beginner workshops in Carlsbad, CA. Aspiring artists learn the ancient craft of mosaic-making, discovering the joy of transforming fragments into cohesive art.
