The Heart of the Portrait ✨
Work on the portrait mosaic is progressing wonderfully! With the background crowd scene now complete, I’ve officially moved on to the intricate details of the facial features.
With his family's permission, I am deeply honored to finally share the name of this gentleman: Michael David Markman.
Naming him makes such a profound difference in conversations with visitors who drop by the studio. Michael passed away some years ago, and his wife, Julie, was a student of mine back when I taught mosaics in Bunbury. Sadly, she never got to finish this piece, and it is an absolute privilege to continue this work on her behalf.
Every tile laid is a tribute to her memory, connection, and craft. Stay tuned as his features begin to take shape! 💙 Or call in to the Inglewood Arts Hub, Studio 2 on Mon, Wed & Fri between 10.00am-3.00pm.
