Day of the Dead Murals in Artistic Tile by Carly Quinn Designs
As a successful full-time creator of artistic tile, CustomMade artisan Carly Quinn of Carly Quinn Designs in Tucson knows not just her own tastes but her customers’ tastes as well.
So Carly, whose favorite artist is the Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, discovered the Southwest’s passion for Día de Los Muertos, or “Day of the Dead,” themes and the popularity of custom hand-glazed Day of the Dead tile murals.
Your own custom Day of the Dead artistic tile design could consist of a single 8” x 8” tile or a mural up to 18” x 18” in size.
All Carly’s tiles are 100% hand made from start to finish and include hand-drawn and glazed designs. No two tiles will ever be alike.
Her murals are grouted and framed in hand-welded, rusted, and sealed metal frames, with or without votive candleholders, and are also custom made for your individual project.
See Carly at work in her studio and listen to her discuss her “tile addiction” in the video, “Set in Tile.”
What do you want to see in a custom artistic tile design for your home? Whether you want a mural for a Day of the Dead altar, or perhaps Day of the Dead tile trivets, or a work in any theme that speaks to you, check out the Carly Quinn Designs portfolio at CustomMade and then contact Carly and discuss your ideas.
