Meet Terri

I began my passion for creating art at Northeast Louisiana University. I majored in Marketing and Accounting but managed to take 5 art classes that inspired me. I learned to weave and had my first show with woven art hanging creations. I then moved to Austin and took stained glass classes from Renaissance Glass and have been working with glass ever since. I love the deep rich colors of glass and how the changing light affects the colors.

I am grateful to have worked at Blue Parrot Stained Glass and Glass Works Studio to advance my craft. Then I discovered the joy of working with fused dichroic glass and took classes at blue Moon Glass Works. I fell in love with the vibrant changing colors of dichroic glass and creating unique wearable art.

I have been a full time glass artist since 2003 and attend many juried art shows a year like Deep Ellum Art Festival, Rockport Art Festival, Bayou City Art Festival and Woodland Waterways Art Festival. I was awarded “Best New Artist” and “Best Returning Artist” at Rockport Sea Fair. It is fun to interact with customers and get good feedback.

I really enjoy it when customers find a piece, whether it is a large stained glass or a small pendant, that makes them happy. I am always striving to make new and exciting pieces. My inspirations come from nature and music. All of the beautiful watery colors, beautiful shades of nature and the vibrant colors of the sunsets come alive in dichroic glass. I specialize in hand etched designs such as leaves, feathers, shells, sand dollars and guitar picks. Each piece is made with love in my Austin Texas studio. I still get excited to see what vibrant colors come out of the kiln each time.
