One-on-one with mosaic tile artist Mercedes Austin
The owner of Mercury Mosaics in Minneapolis, MN, discusses with Contemporary Stone & Tile Design how she got into the mosaic tile art business and what inspires her designs.
Contemporary Stone & Tile Design magazine had the opportunity to talk with Mercury Mosaics owner Mercedes Austin about her 20 years of experience, how she got started and some of the experiences she has had working with customers.
MA: Mercury Mosaics came about because I was aiming to create a “day job” for myself related to my art. This started to brew about 20 years ago and I was told that you can’t make a living creating art. This really just set the tone for my drive to solve the problem.
