About Us

Maverick Mosaics is an educational art school and studio dedicated to nurturing and expanding creative expression through the art and community of mosaic.

Located in Vienna, Virginia, Maverick Mosaics is owned and operated by Bonnie Fitzgerald. In 1999 Fitzgerald began phasing out a lucrative career in the television business to teach mosaic art to home-schooled children in her garage studio. The kids had so much fun that their parents wanted to learn, soon those parents started taking classes in the garage, and then neighbors signed on; and by word of mouth Maverick Mosaics was born.

Today Maverick Art School & Studio occupies a 1200 square foot space on historic Church Street in Vienna, Virginia; a suburb of Washington, D.C. Fitzgerald takes a holistic approach to building community through art, which means Maverick students see how commissions are carried out. “I do commission work to support the education component,” Fitzgerald explains. “The two are interdependent.”

While Fitzgerald is the heart and soul of Maverick, she is the first to acknowledge that she couldn’t do it alone. “My husband Ken teaches technical classes, and I would not be in business at all if not for him. He is my biggest fan, greatest supporter and has really gone out on a limb with me. And I could not have my school right now without my amazing staff and Maverick's many friends that all contribute their time and talents in countless ways to support our community.”
