Cait's Reverie — Original Glass Mosaic Artwork by Caitlin Barnes

Glass, held to the light.

Original glass mosaic artwork by Caitlin Barnes — pieces made slowly in a small studio in New Orleans, one tessera at a time.

Caitlin works from a small studio in New Orleans, cutting each tessera by hand. Her pieces move slowly — sometimes over the course of a season — and are shaped as much by the light in the room as by the glass on the table.

“Glass remembers everything — the hand that cut it, the room it lived in, the light it caught on its way here. My work is a way of listening to what it already knows.”

Art created for meaningful spaces.

Original commissioned works for private residences, hospitality spaces, and architectural installations. Each project begins with a conversation.

A debut exhibition in New Orleans.

This December, Cait's Reverie opens a debut solo exhibition of new original works. An evening of glass, gold, and conversation.
