Stephanie Shroyer

Texas Mosaic Artist

When asked how she got into to the medium of mosaics, Stephanie recalls a shelf  with her great aunt's china on it  falling and breaking. Not wanting to throw it away, it got put into a box and put in the closet. Two years later she found her mentor and inspiration in a shop in Waco. After a few attempts on her own, she called her for a lesson.

Beginning with the Piquette Assiette technique using broken dishes, she has evolved with a variety of works including more traditional pieces, and a organic and more contemporary line. She also  explore s fused glass, lampwork beads and is now playing in concrete making birdbaths and basins for the garden.

* Stephanie resides in Fayette County and has lived in the Fayette County area since 1976, she has been a member of the art community there for several years.  She has taught and directed at the Art Guild Of Rural Texas's After School Program and the Summer Art Camps and is a member of LPAA Lost Pines Artisans Alliance as well.

*She now teaches workshops in her studio in La Grange,  by appointment. Schedules for upcoming classes are pending, but she will gladly do a one on one class with you.

* As a member of the Society for American Mosaic Artists, she has attended inspiring convention s in Chicago and San Diego, and is looking forward to the anual conference coming to Austin in February of 2011.  A new organization she is involved with  is helping to make that happen, the Austin Mosaic Guild now claims over 90 members and is only two year old! it amazing there are so many  mosiac artists in the area!

She shows her work though galleries and art shows through out Central Texas.
