Custom made tiles, from designs of your own choosing, will transform the interior
of your home into an elegant statement of your unique and individual taste.

Hand-painted
tiles of the highest quality give class to a fireplace, dress up the kitchen backsplash, or add an element of interest to
the wall above the bathroom. Tiles adapt themselves to any decorating style: country, southwest, classical, romantic,
or Victorian.

With an unlimited subject matter,
tiles may depict animals, birds, flowers, herbs, landscapes, still life, and much more, including abstract designs.
A single tile adds interest to a room, while a group creates a stunning arrangement.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Marianna Gorelova, an artist specialized in
the designing and painting of tiles. In
my work, I mainly follow the izraztsy
style, highly popular in Europe, including my native land of Russia. Special techniques and diversity of subject matter render these custom-made tiles a unique
art form.

To learn more about
izraztsy tiles and the way I create them, see: How I work

I composed this page to show you the process of making
tiles to order, using an example of one of my works. This page will also introduce you to the wonderful world of art
on tiles.

If you, before making
the choice, want to know more about decorative tiles or about different styles of ornament, I can offer you to look
at the numerous albums out of my personal Library . If you will be interested
in the history of ancient Russian ornamental tiles, you can learn on page Historical Outline.
Some of the ornamental
techniques that I employ have their own interesting history. To learn more about them, see Pattern design page.

samples of my work from various collections. See Tiles to order to find samples and ideas for fireplace facades, walls, and other uses.

I value each customer's unique traits and delight in creating new collections
that reflect individual interests, tastes, and experiences. I enjoy working in cooperation with the customer who chooses
every detail of tile design.
