Valerie Theberge Mosaics

Everyday, my team and I look across to the north side of the 18th Street Underpass in Crystal City, VA and watch the dazzling mosaics go up on the wall. Valerie Theberge's team is at it all week installing the last mosaics that adorn the wall. The mosaics are simply gorgeous! Sparkling and Radiant. The piece is called Radiance and the mirrored tiles twinkle and light up the underpass like fireflies. When the sun is low, rays of sunlight bounce off the tiles. Now that's dazzling.

The Crystal City Business Improvement District commissioned Valerie Theberge to create a mosaic mural on the 18th Street underpass outside the Crystal City Metro. The mosaic consists of individual mosaic pieces ranging from 4-9 feet in size spanning the length of the 160 foot wall. The mosaic is created from colorful glass tiles, stained glass,and mirror. Each piece is hand-cut and assembled in Valerie's studio.
