Available for hire

Tessera spent years documenting Roman mosaics across the Mediterranean before turning to illustration. She's fascinated by how thousands of small stone fragments - tesserae - can build portraits, myths, and geometric wonder. Her work honors the ancient technique, with visible grout lines and the characteristic shimmer of uneven tile surfaces.
