We’re creating two, long tile mosaic dragons for West Portal Park in San Francisco and are excited how they are coming along. Both dragons will be installed on retainer walls at the entrance of the playground and showcase over 100 donors to the park renovation. We will be installing them later this month. Artwork by Rachel Rodi and Guy Fuerte.
Mia's Dream Mosaic Coming Together
While we’re in quarantine we are working on a few capitol improvement projects for renovated parks and new public spaces. Studio work was recently completed on this rainbow themed mosaic for Mia’s Dream Come True Playground, an amazing, fantastical, all-abilities playground being built in Hayward, CA. The mosaic will be installed this summer in the entry pathway at the park. It’s our hope that once the parks open and we may gather together again, our mosaic will help provide some beauty and healing to the community! A collaboration between Marisa Peltier, Rachel Rodi and Guy Fuerte.

Quarantine - Thinking of Everyone
As we continue to move forward into the unknown our hearts and thoughts are with everyone during this intense and uncertain time. Especially those who must be on the front lines - healthcare workers, postal workers, janitors, delivery people, grocery clerks…. We deeply wish everyone good health and the care, support and resources needed to be well on all fronts. Much love to you!

Prepping Mia's Dream Come True Park Mosaics
We are excited to get started on one of our next mosaic projects - two installations at Mia’s Dream Come True Playground in Hayward, CA, designed in collaboration with Marisa Peltier of RRM Design Group. The playground is going to be an extraordinary all-access park filled with fantastic play sculptures such as a full size airplane swing set, leaping dolphins, and an actual fire truck that children of all abilities can play on. Our rainbow themed mosaics will be installed in the 9’ wide entry pathway and on the edge of an enormous flower pot sculpture and will honor major donors to the park.
New Glass Mural: Music, Wind and the Spirit
We just completed a glass donor recognition mosaic in stunning Carmel, CA for St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church that honors everyone who contributed to a new beautiful organ for the church. The mosaic represents wood and flowing wind which creates the organ’s music, moving into the fire of the spirit. It is a wonderful tribute to have been part of. The project was a collaboration by Guy Fuerte and Rachel Rodi, with the printed donor recognition tiles designed by Bevilacqua Studio.
