Michael Sweere is a talented artist from Minneapolis, whose work consists in fine art mosaics, created with recycled materials like paper packaging items, tins, cans, glasses, coffee cups, dishes, plates, or any other type of material that can be cut into pieces and reassembled into these amazing works of art.
Michael starts his mosaics by drawing the outline with a pencil, then coloring them to visualize the color scheme. After that, he chooses the materials for the mosaic, mixing and matching shades and colors, until the artwork emerges.
Michael Sweere is represented by Sivertson Galleries, in Minnesota.

Fantastic work Michael, something for me to aspire to.
I love your work. You have inspired me. What do you use to set your material? Do you seal it?
Thanks
Sandy
