We promote the art of mosaics. While honoring its craftsmanship, Maverick Mosaics designs, produces and installs one of a kind mosaic artwork. We nurture and train artists in contemporary and traditional mosaics and materials and embrace both professional artists and hobbyist. We match trained artists to commercial and residential opportunities; we teach the art of mosaics at all levels, to all ages.

Maverick Mosaics is a multi-dimensional business. As a "mosaic resource" we produce commissioned artwork and functional landscape pieces for architects, interior designers and private collectors and also serve as an educational art studio.

Examples of our commissioned work can be found in the Gallery section of this website and include murals for Whole Foods Market Alexandria and Whole Foods Market Fair Lakes stores, and an ornamental fountain for the Town of Rockville. Maverick has also been featured in two episodes on HGTV creating outdoor stepping stones in 2006 and the design and installation of a residential mosaic portico and lamp post in 2007.

We provide instruction and special workshops for students interested in learning the skills necessary to produce mosaic artwork.  Materials we use include ceramic, marble, stone, vitreous glass, stained glass, smalti glass, found objects and just about anything else you can think of!  We encourage students to work on original designs.  We offer both structured classes and open studio hours and periodically we host visiting artists from around the world. Please go to Workshops for more information.

As part of our commitment to education and making art available to all ages, we periodically create large-scale public works mosaics that enable us to enlist the assistance of friends, family and other mosaic enthusiasts. Throughout the year several projects created at the Maverick Studio are donated to non-profit fundraising auctions.

Located in Vienna, Virginia, Maverick Mosaics is owned and operated by Bonnie Fitzgerald. Ms. Fitzgerald is a graduate of New College in Sarasota, Florida with a B.A. in Humanities and Fine Arts. In 2006 she earned Master in Mosaico certification at Orsoni Smalti Veneziani in Venice, Italy and has taken numerous other continuing education courses and workshops including programs at UCLA, USC, The Corcoran School of Art, Smithsonian Institution and many private instructions.

Ms. Fitzgerald currently serves as an Officer on the Board of Directors for The Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA), and is an enthusiastic member of The Tile Heritage Foundation and the British Association for Modern Mosaics. We encourage you to visit their web sites. They too are terrific mosaic resources.

We invite you to explore our website and we hope that our work inspires you enough to contact us. The majority of our works are created as special orders and commissions. Should you see an art piece that you desire in different colors or a specific size, or if you are looking for something unusual, let us know! We customize our artwork to suit your taste and decor.
