Larry Mobley
In addition to being a petroglyph and mosaic
artist, Larry is a tile reclamation specialist. He travels throughout
the United States in order to remove and preserve historical tile for
museums, public intuitions, galleries, and collectors. Countless
important historical tiles and mosaics are being destroyed as buildings
and homes are remodeled and rebuilt. Americans must save this art medium for future
generations so that they may also gain knowledge about the past through
antique tile and mosaics.
