Inspired by a visit to a local produce market where she found a gigantic, 1 lb (1/2 kg) carrot, Ilona Fried decided to immortalize her discovery in a series of mosaics.

These sold quickly so she created some more - so far, she has produced seven unique carrot artworks in addition to her other abstract and figurative work. You can see images of her art at http://www.mixedmediamosaics.com.

Ilona has travelled extensively and lived in several countries. At the moment, she resides and maintains a studio in Denver, Colorado.
