THE CONCERT  IN THE PARK MOSAIC

In the spring of 2002 Kirstin and  high-school student (and friend!) Kari Cross conceived, passed through City Council and completed a large scale public mosaic in the town of Coronado. This piece was the first public art that Coronado has commissioned in many years, and has set a new precedent for future pieces. A volunteer project, this mosaic was finished with the help of high school students and community members. The project lasted a month, and now Coronado boasts a fine population of young mosaic artists. Students have gone on to do other interesting projects involving mosaics.
Kirstin is very proud of her kids! This mosaic also led to another large scale public piece, also in Coronado.
