Bi-racial and bullied, her early years were difficult at best. But times have changed. Talia has a beautiful family of her own, limitless opportunities and enough money to make breathtaking art out of it. Talia Hayward is a Zambian born artist with an instantly recognizable&amp;nbsp;style. Growing up as an orphan in a third world country had its challenges, including often being&amp;nbsp;deprived of the basic means to create art. It\u2019s ironic then that, today, Talia\u2019s mosaics are literally made of money\u2026containing&amp;nbsp;extremely fine detail&amp;nbsp;achieved through painstaking effort and thousands and thousands of coins. Talia also appeared on Big Brother Africa 7 and runs the non-profit Thankful Thinking with her husband Brett.
