Experience
Mixed-media Artist
Jan 2010 — Present · San Jose, CA, US
Mixed media artist working with glass, rocks metal, and other bits & pieces to create mosaic art.A native of Canada, Cate originally worked in paint and found object sculpture—exhibiting and receiving grants both individually and as a member of “The Coterie of Malcontents” artist collective.In 2002 she moved to California where she discovered that she could combine her first loves, and in effect, both paint and sculpt in mosaics.In 2010, she launched shardArtist® and her work was quickly accepted in highly competitive juried shows and sought after through private commissions.Cate now creates mosaics from her studio in Todos Santos, Mexico where she continues to draw inspiration from the beauty of the natural environment.Rarely without a camera, I use photos taken while hiking, tide pooling or otherwise engaging with my environment as a spark for a new piece. From there I build organically. Stained and art glass, as well as polished and unpolished minerals, are among my favorite media. Using and shaping the geometry of hard-edged materials, I love the challenge of portraying the texture and flow of living forms.” – Cate Thomassen
