Much to my delight, I was also able to include a much larger community: hostel guests traveling from all over the world participated with the artistic process. " Dianne Sonnenberg’s glass mosaic work has been featured in international publications, galleries & juried exhibits. “Striking Texas Gold” was created with a variety of glass from all over the world, including lovely reflective gold mirror and recycled tempered glass. Dianne is a member of the Society of American Mosaic Artists and the Creative Arts Society of Austin. She lives in Northwest Austin with her musician husband and two children.
