About Art Glass by Ann
Working from my studios in Brookhaven and Morgan County, Georgia, I create kiln-formed glass and fine silver pieces that explore color, form, texture and the transformative nature of heat. As a Certified Art Clay Silver Artist, I also enjoy bringing these two mediums together through silver and glass fusion.
I’m an active member of the Brookhaven Arts Alliance, connecting my studio practice with the vibrant arts community close to home. After more than 35 years in the technology industry, leading marketing and communications, I returned to something that had always been part of me—making art.
Art Glass by Ann grew from my fascination with the transformative nature of heat and the balance between precision and unpredictability. In the kiln, glass moves from solid to fluid and back again, creating color, depth and movement that can never be entirely duplicated. That element of discovery is what continues to captivate me.
Each piece is designed and handcrafted by me, often through multiple kiln firings. I work exclusively with Bullseye glass and especially love bold color, intricate murrine and unexpected combinations of materials and techniques. My work ranges from sculptural and functional glass to garden pieces and wearable art.
Metal clay has become an important extension of my glass work. I create fine silver pieces both on their own and in combination with kiln-formed glass. I’m especially drawn to silver and glass fusion, where the luminous color of glass meets the texture, detail and permanence of fine silver.
Because every piece is made by hand, no two are exactly alike. Even when I return to a familiar design, subtle differences in color, movement and detail make each piece distinctly its own.
What began as a creative pursuit after a long career in technology has grown into a art business that allows me to do what I love most: experiment, create beautiful things, and send a little piece of my studio out into the world.
