I
was caught by the beauty of fused glass when I first saw it at craft and
holiday fairs. I had to try it. I took a class in Tacoma and have been intrigued by it ever
since. I love the feel of the glass and
the way it looks in the light. It can change
colors by whatever light it is seen in.
The three dimensional depth draws you into the piece. I love the way different colors blend and yet
remain a distinct color. There is a
mystery in the depths of the glass.
I have been interested in
artistic expression for many years. I
took classes in drawing and painting in college. Then I became interested in pottery and
pursued that for a long time. My family
has traveled around quite a lot and I would take classes whenever and wherever
I could find them. As my children grew
up and left home, I went back to classes at Olympic College, concentrating on
drawing and design. Watercolor and
printing studies followed that. Now I am
concentrating on fused glass. I started
with small jewelry sized pieces, but I know that I won’t stop there. I saw some very interesting large pieces in North Carolina this
summer, so I know that my expression in glass will continue to evolve.
