MARY BROWN
Glass Artist
Mary has always been captivated by hand made glass creations. As a child growing up in Europe she collected small handmade glass animals. Later, as a researcher in a science lab, she made specialized glassware for specific experiments. Later still, she was introduced to coloured glass rods that could be brought to molten in the flame of a torch, and shaped into a myriad of styles, colour combinations and sizes. She claims, her glass-nerd was exposed and her science brain and artistic brain were now on common ground.
She began to make glass beads using the primordial shaper of the world... fire, and the modern techniques of soft glass sculpting which incorporates chemistry, physics and artistic imagination.
"It is my hope that discerning art collectors will fall in love with the light catching wonder and uniqueness of my glass creations."
