Meet the creator
Brenda Pokorny
Mosaic artist · Mooresville, North Carolina
My goal is to bring beauty, joy, and a touch of magic to the world.
Where it started
Textile designer
Brenda earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Miami University with a concentration in textile design, and began her career in textiles. She spent 10 years managing her own textile design business.
Finding her calling
Mosaic artist
Then she started playing around with mosaic, and instantly knew she had found her calling. Her mosaics range from framed art to architectural installations to functional pieces such as garden benches and tables.
What inspires her
Gardens, nature & travel
Her work is influenced by the ancient mosaics she has seen and the breathtaking scenery she has stumbled upon around the world.
Lately
Mandalas & labyrinths
Recently she has been exploring mandalas and labyrinths in mosaic, borrowing from the hedge mazes and labyrinths she has visited, as well as her interest in meditation.
Stories for kids
Children’s book author/illustrator
Brenda has written and illustrated multiple children’s books. Books inspired by days spent with her 3 sons building train sets, playing games, exploring the woods, or puttering in the garden. My Garden, and Come Spring are available now, with Matt & Mike, and Colorbox in the works.

Get Lost Mazes
Immersive 360° interactive art experiences based on her mazes and labyrinths. Projected large-scale onto the floor, the labyrinths invite you to step into another world while the walls and ceiling swirl and change with each scene. Meant for all ages and all abilities, she hopes to stage them in venues around the country.
And now
Dog Park: A Get Lost! Game
Her love of labyrinths and her life-long love of dogs come together on one game board, where many of the best friends who inspired it are whimsically represented.
