Since 2009 Dotti Stone has taught a variety of different mosaics classes at Bower Center for the Arts in Bedford, where she is the exhibits manager and maintains a studio. In 2015 she and several other mosaic artists formed BRMA, Blue Ridge Mosaic Artists, a group that periodically does group exhibits and community projects.

Dotti creates fine art panels and sculptural works and exhibits widely in the area. In 2013 teamed up with classical mosaicist, Stephen Brailo, to present exhibits that combined his traditional classical style and her contemporary approach. In 2021 she joined poet/photographer Barry Koplen in producing two books, Seldom Paired I and II, that blend his poetry and photographs with images of her mosaics. In 2023 they will begin having exhibits that merge the three disciplines

“Most rewarding is seeing what my students create, their excitement over the different materials and colors, learning various techniques and their applications, and developing an appreciation for mosaics. Mosaic art is one of the oldest art forms and creating and exhibiting them to inspire others to enjoy, appreciate, and learn about this versatile and tactile form of art is important and satisfying.”
