Sergei
Troubetzkoy grew up in Richmond, Virginia where he began his career which has
included working for tourism programs in Richmond, Petersburg, Staunton and now
Bedford, Virginia. Over the years he has worked in many mediums including gold
and silver, glass, photography, painting and now mosaics thanks to his neighbor
Dotti Stone who teaches classes in mosaics at The Bower Center for the Arts in
Bedford.

After
completing his first mosaic project, a gazing ball, he quickly moved on to
creating mosaic eggs (many of which use actual egg shells) and most recently a
fanciful mosaic-covered bird. Working with three-dimensional surfaces such as eggs
is challenging due to the irregular shape and curved surface and as a result it
requires very small pieces of tile, most of which are hand-cut. Working with
tiny pieces of glass and irregular surfaces can test the patience of anyone!
Because of the small size and shape, it takes a long time to complete just one
egg because only a small fraction of the surface can be worked-on at a time.
Sergei
enjoys experimenting with various colors and textures to create unusual and
unique objects.
