Commissions
I would love to work on your project! Please contact me for a free initial design consultation. I create mosaics for interior as well as exterior applications, as well as fused glass art, sculpture and lighting.
Helpful information to have – size, location of the artwork, colors, motifs, etc. Once we decide to work with each other, a design fee of 10% of the estimated cost is due. You will receive a color rendition of your art, with material choices suitable to the placement of the artwork. Please note that this fee is non-refundable and is applied towards the final cost of the artwork.
50% of the cost is due when the contract is signed and the remaining 40% is due upon delivery.
Shipping and handling costs are additional, and delivery and installation costs might be applicable, depending on the agreement.
Please find images and descriptions of some commissioned artworks below.
This is a commissioned piece I completed for Sixty Vines, a spectacular wine country-inspired restaurant located in Foggy Bottom, DC. I created it using recycled wine corks provided by Sixty Vines, to depict the Capitol Building in D.C. The finished artwork measures 4 feet square.
“Working with Shona was seamless from start to finish. Through excellent communication and collaborative design ideation, she delivered a truly unique piece that captured every essence we envisioned. The intricacies tell a compelling story when you gaze upon the artwork, perfectly aligning with our brand. Thank you once again, Shona, for such an incredible piece.”

“After living for 18 years in Vienna (and lots of dog walking), I knew the houses and streets very well. I put one of the homes on a regular route because of the stunning mosaics on display in the front yard and near the mailbox. When we moved to DC, I was thrilled to discover the artist herself lived there, and that she accepted commissioned projects. Shona is that artist, and she delivered the most incredible, beautiful mosaic street number, setting the tone for our ‘new’ home (which was built in 1910).
Shona and I worked together to design something personal — with dogwoods harkening our time in Virginia, and specific shades of the colors my family likes best. Shona was detailed in sizing and proportion. For three years now, many neighbors (and casual walkers-by) have complimented our street number. It is such a gorgeous and personal touch! I loved having that sidewalk appeal intact when we did a big renovation and the inside of the house was a disaster. Walking up to my front gate, I always know that I’m home with this personal object d’art welcoming me!
“This was one of three pieces I bought for my wife for her birthday. Was so pleasantly surprised to find that they were much more delightful to look at in person than they appeared in the images online. The way the light plays off the glass really brings them to life. Somewhat surprising to find I can acquire a unique one-of-a-kind hand-made work of art at at such an affordable price. We loved the colors — almost neutral tones with a slight nod to the blue end of the color palette, reminiscent of pebbles on a beach.”
“Shona is incredibly talented. These earrings have become my uniform. They show off your jeans, your sweats, your suit, or your gown. They are intricately laid in a polished silver bed and are exquisite to behold. Shona has expanded into mosaic work for households as well but her jewelry is second-to-none! She will also respond to your personal tastes and requests!”
“Loved the mosaic salmon & orange earrings that I recently bought. They are delicate & beautiful. Shona was very prompt with the order & delivery & it arrived in a cute package with a card that we used for a birthday! I would highly recommend this store. Shona is a very talented artist.”
