Embracing the Nature

Picture
Title: Embracing the Nature
Medium: Mosaic: smalti, millefiori, crystallino, marble and other glass
Size: 44 H x 28 W inches
Location: Northeast of Pentland Street and Rosemead Boulevard, City of Temple City, CA

Awarded "Best Site-Specific Mosaic"
2017 Mosaic Arts International 


This design recognizes the San Gabriel Mountains and wild parrots as natural amenities that provide an iconic backdrop as visitors travel north into Temple City. The design is also an artistic nod to the growing parrot population, which allegedly originated in 1959 when a Pasadena pet shop owner released the birds to save them from a fire.
