A New Mexico artist, Laura Robbins, creates expressive, hand-crafted mosaics that celebrate color, texture, and the beauty of assembled fragments. Her work ranges from intimate pieces to large-scale public installations, each thoughtfully designed to enhance the spaces they inhabit. Drawing on both traditional techniques and contemporary influences, Laura works with glass, ceramic, stone, and found materials to build compositions that feel alive with movement and meaning.

Her portfolio includes architectural mosaics, fine art panels, community-based artworks, and thematic series—such as We Are Water—that explore our connection to the world around us.

The newest fine art Series:
