Art Glass in Pieces
"Art brings new experiences and inspiration into my life. As an artist I love photography, sketching, watercolors, acrylics, but currently I work mainly with sheet glass creating designs in stained glass using both lead came and/or copper foil methods of construction. The method used depends on the design I created. I received a BFA degree in Visual Arts in 1993 from EWU, emphasizing mixed media painting and sculptural ceramics. I deferred my art aspirations for several years to help raise my two sons. I started working with glass as a hobby in 2010. My artistic intent changes with every piece and is always evolving, but I am consistent with my interest in color, line, texture, form, light. I create small to medium sized window/wall panels (usually 20” and under), small tabletop panels, light boxes, candle surrounds, tea light shields and night lights. I hope my end creation brings light, color, and moments of reflection into the lives of those who view my art glass in pieces."
