2 Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature. Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC) 1

3 While growing up on the pristine shore of the Chesapeake, Sara Baldwin was captivated by nature s ever-changing patterns, textures, and hues. Today, she draws from that inspiration to create Metamorphosis, the introductory collection of her new signature series for New Ravenna Mosaics.

5 In Metamorphosis, I transform organic patterns and textures in the timeless craft of mosaic. For me it s a way to capture the soul of nature s imagination, and to invite its tranquility into the home. Sara Baldwin 4

7 In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous. Aristotle 6

8 Humans...will never devise and invention more beautiful, more simple, or more direct than does nature, because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous. Leonardo Da Vinci
