Marina’s Art Nouveau-inspired, handmade, ceramic tiles express authentic beauty, design and creativity that give you permission to see your world a little differently. Whether you are renovating an Arts and Crafts bungalow, remodeling a kitchen, bathroom or updating your fireplace, you’ll play an integral role in the design process.
Creating ceramic tiles is an age-old art that transforms slabs of clay into inspired masterworks. Marina uses the ancient technique of "cuerda seca," a cloisonné-inspired method that mimics the look of mosaic, to create tiles with intensely rich ceramic glazes and textures so soft you long to touch each one..
Driven by a passion to re-imagine the ordinary to create the extraordinary, each hand-crafted tile marries Marina’s talent with your taste to create unique backsplashes, mirrors, tables, sinks, living area accents, and standalone art.
“Personal expression is integral to my work. When customers may be choosing between two pieces, I encourage them to select the piece that evokes a feeling or sensation most appealing to them.” ~ Marina
