Mosaic artist Sueann Bettison-Sher
has been focused on the arts her entire life. She began in her
youth as a weaver and a ceramicist,
and brings the love of color and form developed during these years
to her calling as a mosaic artist.
She became involved with mosaics
when her husband, a publisher of fine jazz music books, needed a
mosaic treble clef to
be photographed for the cover of one of his books and asked her
if she could make one. As she created the piece, she realized instantly
that she was a mosaic artist. Her style is meticulous and combines
a contemporary aesthetic with an Old World charm. Sueann's artworks
are crafted from carefully cut pieces of china, arranged painstakingly
to create a beautiful new design from something broken or old.
Since finding her dream, Sueann
founded Cocci & Idee, (coh-chee and ee-day) a business
that brings forward the fine art of pique assiette mosaic work through
her custom art and through her hands-on
workshops taught from her North Bay
mosaic studio.
Sueann has shown her work in a
number of San Francisco Bay Area venues, including Sonoma County
Art Trails, the Marin Art Festival and the San Francisco
Art and Garden Show. She is a member of the Society of American
Mosaic Artists and lives and works in Petaluma, California with
her wonderful husband, son and daughter.
