DAB's Feature Artist of the Month - Josephine Matthews

April 11, 2019
Josephine Matthews has been a DAB member for five years.  She started playing with mosaics learning how to cut and glue tiles.  At that time her granddaughter loved Disney Princesses, and asked if Josephine could mosaic Cinderella.  Josephine then began learning to paint with acrylics so that she could do the backdrops for her mosaics.  Josephine now has nine mosaiced Disney Princesses and various other beautiful artworks, which are on display in DAB's Gallery.  Please call into the Gallery (11 Mill Street, Mossman) to view Josephine's magical mosaic artworks.
