Beth Barror
Hi! I’m Beth Barror. I graduated from Texas Women’s University with a B.S. in Fashion design and a minor in Photography, and have designed ladies’ fashion accessories for Brighton Accessories since 1990. In 2000 I created the “Enchanted Playhouse” for the Pasadena Showcase of Design and began my mosaic journey with a pair of colorful tiled window frames. From 2000 to 2004 I owned a life-style/gift store on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica where I continued working in mosaics and expanding my palette of materials to include glass, shells, crystals and anything else I thought might ‘stick’. Since 2002 I have also designed and created many large-scale projects for Brighton Collectibles across the U.S. from Palo Alto, CA to Paramus N.J. In 2007 I eagerly joined forces with Sophie Alpert and her quest to improve the lives of the underprivileged through mosaic. I have found that teaching is perhaps the best education of all. Currently I am writing a book, Mosaic Couture, about my mosaic journey so far.
