Art On A Whim Stained Glass Studio

        I am a self-taught stained glass artist, who lived in Southeast Alaska, surrounded by the Tongass Rainforest for over twenty years. My husband, Scott, and I owned and operated a commercial salmon troller/halibut longliner while living a remote island lifestyle. This lifestyle inspired a deep appreciation and love for raw wilderness, the sea, and the natural beauty of the land.

  While incorporating natural and found objects into my work, I interpret the images and textures of the ecosystem with the use of light, color and form.  I don’t attempt to duplicate a landscape; rather I try to convey how I felt within that particular landscape.    The exhilaration of motion, or serene solitude… a respite.
         
         Since moving to Brandon in 2001,  the pastoral beauty of Vermont continues to delight and inspire me.  My glasswork can be seen at the Brandon Artist Guild,  where I am a member.

     You can also find my glass pieces at Antiques By the Falls, (The InsideScoop) located in  Brandon, Vt., Arts & Antiques on Center in Rutland, Vermont and  Depot Street Art Gallery in Ludlow, Vermont.

My attic studio is open and window shopping is encouraged.  Please call to visit.
