Artists & Artisans in Amherst, MA

“When my kitchen was destroyed by a leak from upstairs, I had the opportunity to (finally) recreate it so that it was exactly what I wanted. I love mosaic, and I wanted to cover the entire backsplash with an original work of art. The kitchen area is quite small, and I had in mind something like a jeweled cave. We spent a long, long time looking for an artist that could produce what we wanted. We loved Cynthia Fisher's abstract mosaics, and contacted her about our job. This was the best decision we made in the entire remodeling process. We are in California and Cynthia is in Massachusetts, but this was not an issue. She guided us through the measurement process, sent photos of the work in progress so that we could provide feedback about what we liked or didn't like, and completed the work on time. Besides the artistic elements, the job was quite challenging technically--the mosaics had to fit around light switch plates and outlets, and around the edges of the cabinets. Not only did thing fit perfectly, but the mosaics are designed so that the switch plates are integral, not visually separate from the work. Installation went smoothly (it helped that Cynthia was available to talk to the installer whenever we needed to consult.) The result greatly exceeded my expectations. I got exactly what I wanted, and I love, love, love my backsplash. I give Cynthia Fisher and Big Bang Mosaics my very highest recommendation, both as an artist and as a professional. It was a joy to work with her.”

“I cannot more strongly recommend working with this artist! She and I worked together to create a large beautiful piece as a functional decoration for my office. Her work was amazingly beautiful, she was good with commination and the piece was well packaged and arrived safely. THANK YOU Scout!”

“I hired Donna to create tiles to surround my bathtub. I couldn't be happier with the project from start to finish. The tiles are beautiful. Donna is the consummate professional. She provided just the right amount of guidance and inspiration, including very detailed instructions for installation. Now I am thinking of the next project. HMMMMMM!”
