"Carole Choucair Oueijan has multiple talents... She is able to incorporate her great ability to paint remarkable watercolors and oil paintings into creating stunning Mosaic works of art. This crossover between the two mediums is an exciting and dynamic mixture that gives her works a new edge or view on how to look at the glorious art of Oueijan's Mosaic work. Stunning!"

Awarded "Best Site-Specific Mosaic"
2017 Mosaic Arts International
Presented by the Society of American Mosaic Artists
Mosaic Arts International 2017: Best Site-Specific Mosaic
Carole Choucair Oueijan
Temple City Today
5 panels along Rosemead Blvd. in Temple City, California
2015
Each panel is 44″h x 22″w
Smalti, marble, granite, Cristallino, Millefiori, iridescent tile, pebbles and other glass
The work that best satisfied the criteria in the site-specific category was “ Temple City Today”, by Carole Choucair Oueijan comprised of five mosaic works. The submittal was professionally organized, clearly described and well photographed to fully communicate the information in this work. The artist’s technical proficiency and artistic expression was impressive as each mural was original and romantically depicted the history of the City through a diverse choice of mosaic materials. I was able to step inside the individual panels and was mesmerized by the mosaic artistry in the dancer’s sandal, boy’s backpack and hot-rod headlights. The mosaic murals appear to be a painting from a distance and upon close inspection one is able to appreciate and be in awe of the artist’s skilled use of color, shading, technique and material in achieving their vision. This is an extremely successful mosaic art work which results in a memorable experience by engaging the public as the panels are installed along a major boulevard that transverses the City, and encourages both pedestrian and community connectivity while reflecting pride in the local history.
