Marcus Forand brings invaluable expertise and vision to the Mosaic Art Collective board as Treasurer. With a strong background in finance and organizational strategy, he provides the knowledge and guidance needed to keep Mosaic financially sustainable and poised for growth. Beyond his professional skills, Marcus is deeply invested in fostering a thriving creative community in Manchester, ensuring that Mosaic remains a supportive, inclusive space where artists and audiences can connect through the power of art. My partner is an artist, and a few years ago he came across an art call for Mosaic. When we showed up, we discovered not just a gallery, but a wonderful and caring community. We had been trying small ways to support his art journey, but Mosaic stood out as the place that truly created connections and fostered a supportive mindset. What makes Mosaic so special is its commitment to fostering both new and unique artists, creating a low barrier to entry, and championing local art. I've always wanted to give back to my "little big town" of Manchester, and through Mosaic I've found a way to support both my community and my partner's work.

Christina looks to a blank canvas as a way to quiet her mind and let the exaggerated use of color speak for her. She has found herself well versed in a variety of mediums ranging from print design to painting to textiles. Growing up in the west, and settling in the northeast, she has found inspiration in a multitude of places. From the dusty burnt sienna deserts of Southern Utah, to the crystal blue alpine lakes found in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, to the coastal area of New Hampshire. The range of terrain has inspired a wide variety of work from the highest elevation of the San Juan Mountains in the southwest to the coastal sea level of her favorite New England beach. The unique range of colors found seasonally in New England is mirrored in her bold body of work.

Daniela brings valuable strategic insight and business acumen to Mosaic's board.

An active member of the Manchester art community and board member at Mosaic Art Collective, Cassia is passionate about fostering inclusivity and celebrating creativity in all its forms.
