Artemis is a collaborative sculpture between artist Kyle Cunniff and myself. Kyle sculpted the 7ft tall form while I created the custom hand cut stained glass mosaic as well as the custom handmade ceramic tiles to adorn the sculpture.  

Artemis is pernamently installed at the Mystic Valley Sculpture Park as Seen Below. Click this link to see installation: http://www.kasiamosaics.com/2021/09/artemis-at-mystic-valley-sculpture-park.html

Our sculpture was inspired by the owl's prevalence in pop culture. Owls seem to have burrowed themselves into many aspects of our lives - fashion, design, art etc. These mysterious, nocturnal creatures have captivated the human mind. These are enigmatic creatures of the night and symbolically they are the keepers of sacred knowledge. They have sparked our curiosity and through it have found their way into our hearts. Every time I see an owl - a real one up in a tree or a man made tribute - it is a treat. With this sculpture I wanted to share my love of this enchanted creature. I hope that each passerby that encounters this large mosaiced owl is reminded of the mysteries, the magic and the beauty that comes from nature and that cane come from within us.
