Kelley Knickerbocker
Seattle based, self-taught visual artist Kelley Knickerbocker left a 22-yr administrative career at the University of Washington in 2006 to found Rivenworks Mosaics, where she designs and fabricates ruggedly dimensional artworks which often make use of the rudiments and detritus of other making processes. Kelley’s work is the distillation of her fascination with contrast and material properties, and in 2015 garnered her the Innovation in Contemporary Mosaic award from the Society of American Mosaic Artists. Her work is widely collected and regularly exhibited in the US and abroad, and has been featured in several mosaic books. To enhance her studio practice, Kelley travels extensively teaching in-depth workshops on mosaic style and technique, collaborating, and speaking on creativity and the practice of art. www.rivenworksmosaics.com
