If there was an International Mosaic Ambassador, it would be Kim Grant. I don't know anyone who has more passion, curiousity, and wonder for mosaics than Kim. Through our flickr-relationship and delving into all of her mosaic-themed photos, I've not only gotten to know and appreciate her work, but she's taken me on an eye-opening global mosaic tour. This has deepened my understanding of mosaics as an art form in and of itself, but also as a cultural phenomenon. I am grateful to her for adding to the body of knowledge that exists; I wonder if she realizes that she is doing so much more than "posting photos". I doubt she cares about this, but I think she deepens the legitimacy of mosaics as a fine art form. And, on a more personal, but not altogether unconnected, note, she's made me a website that is so freakin' spectacular I practically wet my pants every time I click into it! She was so easy to work with (and considering she's in Australia and I'm in California, that's saying something!) and neither one of us incurred a single long-distance charge. We did the entire thing by email! My website, and her blog articles, have raised my OWN legitimacy as a fine art mosaic artist. I'm so grateful to her for that too. Thank you, Kim! What a MAJOR support you've been! ~Susan Crocenzi
