What is Intarsia?
Originating in 13th Century Italy, Intarsia today is enjoying a resurgence of popularity. The name Intarsia literally means, "a mosaic in wood". Intarsia created by artist, Terrie Lynn Bach is in the style of the old Masters, using various kinds of woods from all over the world. Cat Dancing Intarsia is created first on paper. Upon transferring the Intarsia design to wood, the Intarsia spirit comes to life in 3 dimensions! Intarsia woods are never stained. All Intarsia is finished with a high gloss clear polyacrylic coating for preservation. Due to the innate nature of Intarsia, each Intarsia mosaic is unique and thus signed, numbered, and dated by Terrie Lynn Bach as an original Cat Dancing Intarsia Mosaic Wood Sculpture.
