“MOSAICS & MIMOSAS”Justin Kane, Lumary Velazquez, Ellen Schiffer,

BACKGROUND: ULTIMATE MOSAIC
Ultimate Mosaic was founded by Wilson Lopez and his wife, Lili Desirèe Gequelin in 2012.
Through Lili’s father, Lopez started working for his tile and flooring company where he discovered his passion for mosaics.
Lopez took home leftover tiles from the flooring company and his talent for design and artwork led him to start his own gallery.
Ultimate Mosaic has been gaining recognition throughout the local and national community.
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
One of the company’s major weaknesses is its visibility to the community.
With Ultimate Mosaic being the only art business that solely focuses on mosaics in SWFL, there is room for expansion in that market.
The goal for Ultimate Mosaic would be to have mosaics as a primary form of artwork within the SWFL affluent community.
Just as other businesses have competitors, one main threat to Ultimate Mosaic would be that of other artists in SWFL.
