Our Artists

Denise Murphy
While I mainly work with the media of glass, I am also a mosaic artist. My glass art borrows heavily from my early foundation in fiber art; particularly with a woven technique that allows glass to simulate the texture and draping of textiles. My mosaics are expressed using a variety of tesserae including glass, tile, clay and found objects. I use my craft to capture the beauty of nature by transforming base materials into art. Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in the translucence, fluidity, and elemental nature of glass. Color, texture and the juxtaposition of light is what makes glass art so compelling and alluring for me. It appeals to my creative urges, and calls me to the kiln for that next new exciting work that will emerge.
