Art Tiles
Each year, I select a few of my paintings to reproduce in the form of ceramic art tiles. Handled carefully, they provide a lasting reproduction at a very affordable price. An art tile is made by taking a digital scan of the watercolor, adjusting the digital file on a computer, making a digital print on transfer material, and transferring the image to the surface of a tile where it is chemically bonded to the tile by heat. The image becomes part of the tile, not just a layer on its surface. The tiles can be displayed on a table-top plate stand, hung on the wall by means of the hook on the reverse, or can be embedded in a wall of tiles or cabinet doors in a bathroom or kitchen. They are not intended to be cutting boards or trivets, because the surface can be scratched by sharp or rough objects. Excessive heat will also mar the surface. The tiles are 8" x 10" with a smooth, satiny surface. Each is $40; tax and shipping are extra. My clients have found these ideal for gifts, hostess presents, reminders of a trip, or a special treat for themselves. Due to ordering difficulties, many of my tiles are sold out but I will be ordering more for 2021, possibly with some new subjects or old favorites.
