Gifts of Art presents Charley Harper by Motawi: Ceramic Art Tile
Motawi Tileworks

This exhibit features Motawi's new collection of tiles based on the work of beloved wildlife artist Charley Harper (1922-2007). Harper's work is modern, sophisticated and completely charming. His minimal graphic style lends itself perfectly to Motawi's cuenca tile making technique. Nawal Motawi graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Fine Art. In 1992, she founded Motawi Tileworks in a garage studio. Today, Nawal employs more than 30 people and sells tile through hundreds of retailers around the county. In addition to this exhibit of newly released tiles, the University Hospital has Motawi tile murals in the east and west Patient Elevator Lobbies on floors 1-8.
