The Fauves and Fused Glass

I love the Fauves! Their art was characterized by paintings that portray intensely vivid, pure and exuberant colors. I am inspired by the intensity and boldness of the paintings of Matisse and Derain and pose to portray this boldness in glass. I choose kiln-fired glass as my personal canvas and voice.

The Creative Process

• Glass is cut, arranged and stacked according to my sketch or photo• Glass is fired several times in a kiln•Metallic oxides and 24 karat gold add luster and detail
