Welcome to Shining Star Mosaics.

My name is Bill Allord. I live in Eugene, Oregon. I have been working in mosaics since 1997. I have traveled extensively throughout Italy exploring the rich tradition of Mosaic Art, both modern and traditional, which abound there. I have studied in Ravenna, Italy at the Mosaic Art School with the renown teacher, Luciana Norti.
Mosaic is a wonderful medium to express oneself. The possibilities are endless. So many colors, textures and materials to choose from. I love color, so you will find my work very bold. My pieces are very detailed. I use unusual and colorful glass, cut into very small pieces to execute the design. I cut each piece to fit. It is a long process but one which is fulfilling when the final piece is placed.
If you have seem my work at a show this year , you will see that I have pictured here only a fraction of my work. My Mosaic Spanish Guitar was featured in the Eugene Mayor's Art Show 2010. http://www.jacobsgallery.org/MAS/MAS-2010/ Please let me know if there was something you saw that you are interested in.
I hope you enjoy my work. Visit my site often. There will always be something new.
Please feel free to give me a call with any questions. Thanks
