ABOUT

I make ceramic art tiles inspired by the flora and fauna I see around me. These subjects are filtered through my childhood, where a violin was always playing. My brother is a concert violinist. That's what gives my work its lyrical feel and sense of motion. The imagery is intentionally happy. When you see it, I want you to smile, breathe deeply, feel a sense of celebration, and reconnect with the beauty around you. That's also what I'd like to bring to your home in the form of a custom kitchen backsplash, fireplace surround, or a bathroom remodel but using your imagery. Your mural can be based on your garden, a memory shared by your family, or an outstanding vacation. To that end, I've created this guide to help you get started.

Influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts Movements. I love the idea of uniting organic and geometric forms into designs that flow and follow the spirit of these two movements, which strive to bring beauty to the everyday. My tiles are appropriate as murals, kitchen and bath backsplashes, countertops, sinks, tubs, table tops, and fireplace surrounds. Each hand-made, hand-glazed Bosetti Art Tile project is as unique as you are. The tiles can be used indoors or out.

I earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1982, where I learned to take a painterly approach to clay. Between school and settling in NC, I sailed the high seas from the islands Saint Pierre et Miquelon to the Bahamas, landing in Beaufort, NC. Over the years, I've lived in Beaufort, Asheville, and now Raleigh, and I've gone from sculpting to pottery to art tile and then back to re-explore and hone my skills. My red clay romance has been good company throughout my life.

Studio visits are welcomed; I'm located in the downtown and historic neighborhood of Boylan Heights in Raleigh, NC. You can email or text me at 919-414-8950 to make an appointment.
