Teal Inspiration

I was given a lovely teal vase a few years ago with a vertical crack. I set it on our mantel and it held a bouquet of dried fuscia flowers until the vase recently fell apart. I loved the color and I have finally decided to start two different stained glass designs using similar parts of the vase that I cut apart. I decided to cut similar shapes of glass from this vase so that it created similar starting points.

The first photo shows the two separate panels with the vase pieces. The second photo shows one of the designs in progress.

A bit about me:

As a child, art supplies were readily available and creativity was encouraged.
And in elementary school thru highschool, I was more concerned with how well my art projects were completed than focusing on the main subjects.

I Studied Fine Arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette from 1977-1980, focus on drawing, painting and etching. I married my husband Doug in the beginning of my fourth year, and he was transfered so left to follow my husband and I start a family.

I continued with drawing and painting and crafts and when we settled in Louisiana I began working as an apprentice in a glass studio.

I worked in 2 separate stained glass studios crafting liturgical glass designs from 1990-2007.

I worked in commercial art production and taught elementary art classes through our Arts Council. I have designed and fabricated my own stained glass and mosaic designs since 1995.

And I currently display my artwork in galleries and gift shops in Louisiana.
