I’m painting what I love, what grabs my attention and makes me pause. Mornings and evenings are particularly inspirational because colors can be intensified, and light can make the ordinary interesting.
Karen Bruson
I am inspired by the way light falls upon a subject, casting rich dark shadows, and I aspire to simplify the nuances within those darks. Starting with a luminous, warm ground, I seek to create a vibration of color by using compliments and deliberately leaving some areas untouched.

The glass woven vessels are constructed from individual pulled strands of glass that are laid down one at a time in five layers to create the woven appearance. Each vessel is constructed from 1000+ individual strands of glass. Colors are chosen, overlapped, and interlaced to create varied interests of color. The heat from a kiln is used at a specific temperature to allow the piece to become solid yet maintain the texture of the fabric, including a raw salvaged edge, which you find on raw cloth. Some pieces even contain an element that looks like a pulled thread. It took the artist five years to develop this technique, allowing her to create the essence of flowing cloth in the breeze out of a solid, sharp material.
