Michele Petno has been a successful artist, teacher, importer of mosaic supplies and entrepreneur since 1994. She is the original founder of Wits End Mosaic, Smalti.com, MuranoMillefiori.com and KismetMosaic.com as well as co-founder of the “Mosaics In Mexico” school in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
I retired my shop and classroom in Orlando 10 years ago to care for my mom until she passed away one year later. Two years later I moved to the “Space Coast”, aka Titusville/Cape Canaveral, and joined the North Brevard Art League to teach mosaic. But then Covid hit! For the next 2 years I continued to make mosaics but did not have an outlet to sell them. So, I decided to return to Central Florida and create this website to show past works and and new ones !! I am so excited and happy to be back in the Orlando/Sanford area!!
Anyone who knows me knows I have never been one to just sit around. A good friend once said to me “you’d be busy in a bucket!” She was so right. In addition to mosaic art, I will be making “Memory Ware” and metal assemblages, creating Collage Art and paintings. I will also accept custom portraits, humans or pets, painted or in mosaic, and they might surprise you!
Thank you for visiting!
Michele Petno
