Sarah Wandrey Mosaics

Rockwall, TX

"Custom mosaics elevate your space and last for generations."

I believe in surrounding myself with beautiful, hand-crafted things that are made to last.

Sarah Wandrey became a mosaic artist by way of a legal career. It was at the University of Chicago Law School that Sarah was inspired by the grand stone architecture and leaded glass windows of Rockefeller Chapel and the Harper Library. Sarah’s favorite classes were the evening courses she took at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she guiltily studied classical drawing and composition rather than trial law.

During the next decade as a lawyer, Sarah had three children and continued to study art “as a hobby,” but art took more and more of her time. Then, in 2014, she took a mosaic class on a whim. “It was just a way to get out of making dinner once a week, but it was so exciting. The very first mosaic I made was the best piece of art I had ever made. And so was the second. They both got in a show and sold right away. I knew I couldn’t keep practicing law.”

When her youngest child started school, Sarah pursued an apprenticeship with a mosaicist, during which she was trained in large scale outdoor mosaic mural and sculpture as well as fine art mosaic. Sarah now runs a full-time mosaic art business specializing in fine art mosaic and architectural commissions.
