We are all artists creating our lives by the inspirations that move us. Some create beauty and order in their home. Some create by inspiring others. Some people create by how they dress, putting on another’s creation of beauty. Here are some of my creations! Most of these original mosaics are not be for sale. But I would enjoy creating a mosaic for you from a picture or an idea, priced to fit your budget. I charge from $50 to $100 per square foot depending upon materials used.
If you would like to purchase any of the items for sale (some are not), please e-mail me at www.angelbettyrae@gmail.com. Each art piece will be an original made to your specifications.

- 4′ x 6′ “Symbols”rug was my first rug shown in a vision in 1992. I had never seen this type of rug hooking before, but was driven to create it. A year later it was honored in a book, “Celebration of Hand-hooked Rugs.” Not for sale.

- Memorial to my past husband, Joseph Calleja, who was an industrial pipe fitter. I used his belt buckles from his square-dancing days to depict his tool box, his actual “Joe” belt for his belt. When I searched his tool box and found “wing nuts” I was inspired to give my angel on earth his wings. He earned them! If you would like to have a unique memorial for a loved one, send me your ideas. I will send back my ideas. Cost varies with size and decorations. NOT FOR SALE.

- One of 22 Tarot tiles depicting my simple version of these cards, which I found to be too complex and too negative. I was inspired to use mirrors for all but the last of the 22 tiles. Raphael said they represented how we “mirror one another” in the physical. But in the last two the clown has left the earth and no longer needs mirrors. Soon to be on Amazon in book form. Look for it.

This oil painting was created in a class with Pam Merrill who helped me remember what I’d forgotten. I have since switched to acrylic paints as they dry more quickly. This one is not for sale. But if you would like a painting, send a picture, the size you would like and I will give you an estimate.
