has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

About me
Audrey Meyer - Munz (Mosaics4u)
In mosaics, I have found the medium which has given me the possibility for full expression. When something appeals to me visually, I challenge myself to interpret it through mosaic
I create mosaic wall art. I create works which are not functional, but are made to be contemplated and enjoyed. These picto-mosaics are created for purely aesthetic expression and communication.
I am a mosaic composer – composer from the Latin cum = with, together and pausare= to lay down, to put to a halt. I have chosen this term because I feel that it is the best expression of the notion that a Mosaic composer is an artist involved in the creation of an intricate and time-consuming composition.
- Biography
