March Artist of the Month

Nancy Roberts has always used here artistic interests and talent to balance her business oriented professional life. She tried many media and seemed to be most interested in ceramics--until she took a course in fusing glass at Santa Rosa Junior College in 2000. The course was her defining moment. She knew that she wanted to work with glass and explore the techniques that could change shards of glass into objet d'art as well as beautiful and functional pieces.

Now her art is her profession and she is currently exploring ways to add dimension and depth to her pieces. To get to her goal she is using multiple layers and firings and different temperatures in her kilns. Her latest pieces highlight her success . She is currently offering a selection of plates and serving pieces with flower motifs that are raised but still integrated into the glass. She also has textured pieces that show off her mastery of her craft.

Nancy's color palette changes with the seasons and she is a prolific artist. Therefore, it is almost always possible to find the perfect piece that will work well in your home.
