ABOUT Nancy
I have lived all over the country but most of my life has been spent in Texas. After multiple careers, I retired in 2014 to New Braunfels. I have been doing glass fusing for 2 ½ years, which I enjoy for both its artistic and utilitarian function.ARTIST'S STATEMENT
After multiple tries at several different art forms over the years, this one fits me best. I love how glass and light work together to make something beautiful. I enjoy trying new things with fused glass - from using interesting opaque, transparent and Dichroic glass to make jewelry, vases, clocks and many other objects that appeal both to the artistic and utilitarian senses.
