For the
past eight years Jennifer has successfully combined her years
of experience as a mechanical engineer with her life-long
passion for art. While living abroad for several years, Jennifer
studied at a fiber arts school in Finland and also worked
as a design engineer in Germany and England. This unique combination
of experiences gives Jennifer the ability to create with glass
both technically as well as artistically.
Fused or kiln formed glass is made by hand-cutting and layering
beautifully colored and textured glass and fusing it in a
kiln to temperatures up to 1500 degrees. The glass melts together
to form a single piece of glass with all the individual qualities
of its pieces. The new sheet of glass can be slumped into
another shape, cut, polished, or framed as art.
Jennifer is a native of Wisconsin and lives with her family
surrounded by the beauty of the hills, woods and Wisconsin
River which are her main sources of artistic inspiration.
Jennifer
will exhibit her artworks and explain the process of creating
fused glass at the Mazomanie Historic
Art Center.
