Nancy Mayhew is an award-winning mosaic artist whose journey began with a simple love for transforming forgotten objects into joyful works of art. Known for turning broken china, stained glass, and repurposed materials into whimsical creations, Nancy’s pieces are full of humor, heart, and personality.

Her mosaic animals from cheeky roosters to spunky pelicans and spirited sea creatures have a way of bringing smiles wherever they go.

Nancy splits her time between her two favorite places: Beloit, Wisconsin and Fort Myers, Florida. Each city brings its own magic to her mosaics. The friendly charm of Beloit inspires her playful barnyard characters, while the breezy coastal life of Fort Myers fuels her vibrant ocean-themed designs.
