FEATURED ARTIST

EMILY NYQUIST

Emily Nyquist is a self-taught artist from Geneseo, IL. For the past 10 years she has been creating mosaics using stained glass. She says “It has been a wonderful challenge using this medium to create professional artwork. With each mosaic I learn new skills and different ways to manipulate the glass. I enjoy depicting many subjects, including nature, animals and abstract. For the past few years, I’ve been enjoying creating realistic mosaics, sometimes changing the color palette to get a painterly effect.” Emily also teaches mosaic classes at the Geneseo Art League.

Hard to believe these are made with glass! Come in to the gallery and see them.
