Simone Esquibel, Mosaic Artist

Mosaic artist, Simone Esquibel, is based in the coastal town of Little River, SC. She also enjoys abstract painting and photography, being in nature, and is a New Mexico native. 

Her mosaic art is inspired by and reflects a combination of all these, which are dear to her heart. 

Simone predominantly creates non-traditional mosaics. 

Her palette includes a colorful variety of different types of glass, tile, stone, beads, metal and found objects. She brings these together in a single piece of art, often in altered form via 

cutting, chiseling, or turning them on their sides. 

She also creates mosaic landscapes using stained glass and tile.

Simone is predominantly self taught.  Her initial foray into learning the art form was with a friend and mural mosaicist in Taos, New Mexico in 2004. She has also taken a number of workshops with professional mosaicists over the years. 

Simone has shown her art in galleries in the Carolinas, and has pieces in private collections across the United States. She enjoys doing the occasional commission, and 

teaching others the art form. 

She has taught in private studios, through Coastal Carolina’s OLLI program, and at artist specialty supply shops. 

You can view available mosaics created by Simone at Sunset River Gallery in Calabash, North Carolina, through social media and here on her website.
