"Working with glass is
a transforming process.
The pieces are broken,
change shape, fit
together, then made
whole again with glue
or grout - sometimes in
unexpected ways. It is
important to me in our
throw-away society to
reinvent discarded
items, chipped mirrors
or scrap glass into
sacred art, objects of
art formed in prayer.

My mosaics range from
abstract sculpture and  
landscapes to liturgical
wall hangings and
commissioned works.
They allow me to
connect my art to my
faith. I try to express
some of my wonder at
creation and the
Creator in each piece."

"ONE"  5” x 10” - $100 donation to Haiti Relief

We are all touched by the devastation in Haiti and called to bring hope to
the hopeless, to care for the least of these.  This mosaic is the logo for the
ONE Campaign depicted as the sun, shining light onto those standing in
darkness below.

ONE's partners are leading non-profit, advocacy and humanitarian
organizations. Episcopal Relief and Development is one of many partners
with The ONE Campaign, embracing the Millennium Development Goals and
offering immediate aid for Haiti Relief.

Together we can fight to end global poverty, hunger, disease bringing
compassion and justice to the poorest people of the world – one human
being at a time. However you are able to respond to those in need,
I thank you!

Proceeds from the sale of this mosaic will be donated to Haiti Relief. Please
contact me if you are interested in purchase.   Kathy Thaden
