About the Instructor
MaryLou Hurley
As both artist and instructor at TrueBlueLou Mosaic Studio in Caledon East, I have found the freedom to embrace a unique approach to creating mosaics. I practice the traditional technique of 'andamento', carefully placing rows of tesserae to establish visual flow, but as a contemporary artist, I relish breaking free from classical rules. The sheer joy of discovering new textures, colours, and possibilities of mixed media, fuels my passion for artistic expression.
My art can often be found in gallery settings in the Toronto area and regularly at the Headwaters Alton Mill Gallery, Alton, Ontario.
