Sky High in Toulon is a stunning mosaic inspired by a vintage travel poster of Toulon, depicting a lively scene of a tram car traversing the city. This piece is part of a series created during the artist's daughter's stay in the Canary Islands in Spain, capturing the warm weather and sunny skies of the islands.

The mosaic showcases a vibrant tram car filled with passengers, each adorned with delightful glass details. Reflective camera lenses catch the light, and an iridescent handkerchief adds a touch of elegance and movement. These intricate elements bring a playful and dynamic energy to the scene.

The cityscape of Toulon, meticulously crafted by painting and fusing glass, serves as a picturesque backdrop. The cliff face is adorned with melty flowers, created by fusing pieces of glass, adding a whimsical and organic touch to the mosaic. Can you spot the monkey? The artist's expert use of glass textures and colors enhances the depth and richness of the piece, making the city and its surroundings come alive.

Tram Ride in Toulon beautifully combines the nostalgic charm of vintage travel posters with modern glass artistry, inviting viewers to experience the joyful and scenic journey through Toulon.
