STACEY JACO WILSON
MOSAIC MURALS
All mosaic murals were designed and created by Stacey Jaco Wilson. Each mosaic project was part of a collaboration where children and adults participated in the making of the mural. All glass tiles were donated by Bisazza. The goal for each project was to bring children and adults together, raise awareness about children with cancer and most importantly to have fun creating a collaborative art piece.
