Miles Mathews

Glass Mosaic Artist | Santa Cruz, California

Miles Mathews is a contemporary mosaic artist whose work explores the intersection of spirit, nature, and human embodiment. Working primarily in hand-cut glass, he creates luminous, large-scale compositions that shift and awaken in changing light — works that feel less decorative and more devotional.

Rooted in Santa Cruz, California, Mathews draws inspiration from the natural world — translating subtle, interior experience into tangible, architectural presence.

Glass, with its enigma of fragility and strength, mirrors the human condition. This tension lives at the heart of the practice. Each piece is intentionally placed to create rhythm, movement, and energetic coherence. As sunlight shifts across the surface, the work evolves throughout the day, offering viewers a dynamic experience rather than a static image.

Mathews’ work resonates with collectors seeking spiritually charged, contemporary fine art that carries both technical achivement and symbolic depth. His pieces are held in private collections and commissioned for homes, studios, and contemplative spaces where light and presence are valued.

He continues to develop works from his California studio, exploring mosaic as a living fine art medium to brith timelessness into grounded now materiality.
