My Medium
My Prior ARTPRIZE Entry
My Background
Dalle De Verre is the French term for slab of glass. My work is composed of Dalle De Verre shards. I am fascinated by the endless variety of shapes and colors inherent in this medium. Due to the facets resulting from chipping, it has brilliance and intensity of color that far exceeds ordinary flat pane stained glass.
My work can best be described as a fusion of stained glass and mosaic art.

My Background
I am the daughter of an artist who was commissioned at one time to create a large-scale glass project for a local church. I inherited his supply of Dalle De Verre glass chunks and just began working with it during the pandemic. I found that I could craft it into some amazing pieces.
