I am always creating new mosaics but If you see a design that you would like in a different size or colour, just message me and I’ll get back to you.

Mosaic Art reflecting natural forms, in soft muted tones.

Thank you for visiting my little shop, Broken Colour Mosaics.
I'm Andrea Britnell and I love colour. Actually that sounds trivial - I think I feel colour - mild synesthesia perhaps. To me, colour and pattern are a bit like music, when the harmonies are right it makes you feel...well, wonderful. It fascinates me the way you can put colours together to give a totally different mood. Each arrangement makes me feel a different way and so many schemes and styles draw me in. I find myself standing, staring at inanimate objects or the natural world, or a fabric in a shop window. I’m fascinated with the play of light or depth of shadow, or the way that clashing colour just lifts the composition, wishing I could replicate what I see. Over the years I have enjoyed making art, for fun, in many forms but mosaic has me hooked. It's an amazingly versatile medium and I love the way I can paint with the tiles. Many styles appeal to me but I'm trying my hardest not to be distracted, and to focus on the style I have developed with my mosaics. I use unglazed ceramic tiles, Winckelmans, and Cinca in their beautiful subtle palettes and I’ve recently introduced Emaux de Briare tiles which have a slight lustre and brighter hues. I am drawn to the Arts and Crafts Movement and the creation of pattern with botanical themes. I create intricate, wall plaques for interiors, floral compositions and landscapes. I feel I am growing with every piece and aim to push myself into more challenging palettes and designs.
