Having something unique makes it more special, so after studying pique assiette (translates to “stolen from the plate”), I developed a style of my own, transforming ordinary, household objects — vases, picture frames, kitchen caddies, lamps, etc. — into one of a kind, truly original decorative art. I break plates I love, often those with interesting images and words. To personalize the work and create a biographical component, I enjoy including photos and text with the mosaic. A writer, I work in the media and in mixed media, using both to tell a story. Tiles, glass gems and other surprises are the punctuation.
I invite you to commission me so I can execute your creative vision. The process inspires new ideas and keeps the work fresh. I am particularly gratified by those who return each time they want a gift to celebrate a wedding, new baby or any occasion.
My background in comedy writing explains why I may be the only one doing satirical mosaics. Please look at the “Breaking News” Series, edgy pieces that comment on America’s current crises — from politicians involved in sex scandals to Wall Street swindlers — fittingly done on cremation urns. Go to Limited Editions and look for faces you recognize. “Is The Right Right?” showing right wing politicians and pundits among red, white and blue shards with American flag images, was selected by the highly competitive Brooklyn Waterfront Arts Coalition Wide Open Exhibition.

ART VERSUS SCIENCE - THE COLOUR FASCINATION
Self-taught 33yo contemporary artist Leni Kae (dip Colour Therapy) from Sydney Australia has painted since age 9. She has a very holistic perspective on art and a deep consideration for how structure and semiotics in art can shape viewer's emotional experience. What evolved was a natural discovery of the unbreakable link between art and science.
The Australian contemporary artist and trained colour specialist integrates semiotics of shape, composition and colour psychology to produce artworks with powerful subconscious and sensory triggers, or what she refers to as "Energy Art".
"Leni Kae's works vibrantly interact with viewers, prompting sensory awakening, eliciting positive memories, and inviting self evaluation."
Colour is a particular fascination of the artist; the powerful effects of color and semiotics, which together can alter moods, trigger hormonal reactions, and awaken dormant memories, are vital to a dually artistic and scientific mission. Her works vibrantly interact with viewers, prompting sensory awakening, eliciting positive memories, and inviting self evaluation. Line work is also a distinctive feature in Kae's artwork, with the artist saying they are "representative of waves of our thoughts, reaching out like energetic extensions of the soul or spirit of the work".
