Hello, This is Wasentha…
Hello, This is Wasentha Young. The world is a very large place in which mosaics has been expressed in one for or another. My travels, however, have taken me to Spain, Greece and Italy to visually explore the craft and artistic expression of mosaics from ground to wall to ceiling. I look forward to sharing this journey.
