Welcome! I'm Lisa Bova artist and Irish Culture Advocate.
Summer 2025 Adventure
I am so pleased to announce my partnership with Tunnel to Towers Foundation. They are a non-profit organization that supports Gold Star, fallen first responders, and catastrophically injured veterans and first responder families.
As a fundraiser, I am offering my small works of art in exchange for a donation to T2T.
During the summer I will be in person at several locations. Check back here for dates and times.
Fabric Mosaic Art
Ever look at a beautiful old-world tapestry-portrait and marvel at the story it told? Have you noticed the craftmanship, colors, and the hidden or obvious life-clues of the subject - in the background?
What a family heirloom!
I create modern heirloom:
- featuring your life,
- passions or loved one,
- preserving memories in unique fabric mosaic,
- with the same depth as the old-world tapestry.
How?
Utilizing your photo, 1/4-inch pieces of fabric (vintage and new), applying a mosaic technique, we can produce and heirloom together.
Fabric Mosaic Life-Pictures
Affectionally, I call my work "life pictures". Because, as in life, stand too close; you only focus on the details. Take a few steps back; you can see the big picture.
My pieces are made of tiny square of fabric, three layers (top: interpretation of your photo, batting, and backing) quilted together with a ton of invisible stitching. Standing close, you see the tiny squares and tons of stitching. The squares are a form of art in their own right!
Like life, it is beneficial to take few steps back to see the "big picture." The image becomes clearer a few steps away. Best if viewed from a distance.
About me
I specialize in creating stunning fabric mosaics that capture the essence of joyous occasions and memorialize loved ones who have passed. I am blessed to split my time between Dublin, OH and Clyde, NC. Life in the mountains is inspiring. Life in Dublin indulges my second passion hospitality, Irish Culture and Music. I sit on the board of the Dublin Irish Festival as chair for Entertainer Hospitality. DIF is held the first weekend in August every year.
