It might be worth looking for an artist who works in a style you like who you can write a lot about, rather than one who works with fragments. For the fragments part, find any art online relating to it that you like and just explain what it is about the piece that you like and how you're going to use it to inspire your work. Plus, you can relate pretty much anything to any topic if you try hard enough :wink:

haha

Michelle McKinney produces some lovely work.

Sunga Park does these lovely architectural watercolours but using a technique you could be inspired by.

Look at sculptures made from recycled stuff too i.e. fragments of things :smile:

Generally just use pinterest! It's awesome. I searched 'smashed glass art', 'jigsaw art' and 'broken art' and I'm sure there are many more things you could try. On my pinterest I've just made a board called "Art I like" and I just pin anything that catches my fancy and then I go back and look through it when looking for project inspiration! :smile:

I hope this helps!
