About the artist
Alessandra grew up in Florence, Italy exposed to the arts and all things beautiful.
When she moved to the north shore of Boston, she began experimenting with her creativity after collecting glass, pottery, shells, drift wood and old metal from the beach. She discovered that the art of mosaic was the most natural way to bring together the meaningful pieces she collected and to express her creative nature and her love for the ocean.
With time Alessandra started researching different methods and new materials including colorful Italian or Mexican Smalti glass, fossils and recycled metal and wood.
Her one-of-a-kind mosaics tell a story with their unique elements many of which have been transformed by time.
