"The richness & purity of color achieved with the use of glass to create art is unmatched in any other medium I have encountered.”

In the process of experiencing an assortment of hand forged arts, Kathleen discovered a kindred connection to fire and glass. Her explorations of glass began with fusing & slumping glass in a kiln & later added lamp (torch) work resulting in the sculpting of unique glass jewelry. Today she concentrates more on creating original wall & window glass pieces that are decorative and often functional pieces. They span a range from casual to refined elegance and she strives to reflect her heart in each piece.

Larger kiln space is enabling Kathleen to expand into the realm of multidimensional custom fused glass panels for larger door, window & transom spaces as well as custom bathroom accents with single pieces as large as 6’ x 4’. Art glass can be useful to add a touch of privacy in a window and/or add color to your home's windows & walls. Talk to us about commissioning Kathleen to add special glass effects to blend with your style and color preferences.
