Let’s Talk Fused Glass Sinks

Blue Magic

Make the fused glass sink you’ve always dreamed of! It’s never been easier to learn the complex techniques used to fabricate these artistic basins. In the upcoming months I’m thrilled to offer two different instructional options for these involved projects.

If you are the study from the comfort and convenience of your home learner, you don’t want to miss the GPQ Make a Fused Glass Sink with Lisa Vogt webinar on January 20 and January 22, 2015.

Art for Art’s Sake

The Signature Collection

It’s been a long time since I’ve made anything simply for the purpose of creating something beautiful to engage and inspire. It’s been so long in fact, I can’t honestly say if I ever really have. For as long as I can remember, the direction of my work has been driven by outside influences. Back in college, all of my artistic endeavors were assignments given by art professors.  Then in my stained glass store, I designed what was popular with my customers. I can’t count the number of herons wading along cattail lined lake shores and tropical fish populated coral reef scenes I’ve drawn.  My commission business thrived because I had a knack for designing art that both echoed a client’s unique style and artistically enriched the given environment.

After years of rendering the ideas of others in glass, it’s time to create innovative pieces that reflect my sense of style, drama and whimsy.

To define the Signature Collection, first I have to clarify what this series is not. The complex color combinations are not forced to match a client’s home decor. My bold use of pattern does not conform to any designer or gallery owner’s attitude about trending style. Not this time. These intricate designs evolve freely. They are built spontaneously, in an intimate moment of exploration inspired by the beauty and versatility of the raw material.

The Signature Collection is an adventurous fusion of vivid color, dramatic pattern and graceful form. The series pieces are linked by parallel profiles but no two are alike. Each art piece is designed with a unique combination of narrow glass strips that sharpen each other in a subtle, yet amazing way, which grows more captivating in changing light.

You’re invited to browse this bold series now showing on my redesigned website. It’s my hope that my artwork moves you to reflection, as it does me, and the journey raises your spirit. 

Cheers!

The Artists Life

Recently, I feel as though I’ve been living under a rock. A good portion of an artist’s life is spent blissfully alone with her medium. It’s our happy place where we surrender to our muse, loose ourselves in the creative process and thrive. Some call it the zone. I’ve been very fortunate this summer and have been spending a lot of time in the zone. While there I’ve been working on a new series designed for the sole purpose of making beautiful pieces of art that speak to people.

The scary part is that it’s easy to lose your original focus when you’re in the zone. You go in with an idea, a plan, and you come out with something totally different. Sometimes that new thing is better than you could have imagined. Other times it’s an awful, ugly disaster you quickly get rid of before anyone realizes it came from you. It’s the risk you take for wandering the shadowy path.

The concept for the Signature Collection bloomed along with the lilies back in the spring. It took weeks to fine tune the model and then the summer months to bring the series to fruition. In all that time I’ve had little feedback on the strength of the series except from my family. And truth be told, they’re hard won critics when it comes to my art. So earlier this week when I shared the first teaser photos of the series I wasn’t sure what to expect or what kind of reaction people would have toward my personal expression. I’m thrilled to tell you the response has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s inspiring; it makes the long, hot hours and hard work worthwhile.  

My time spent under the rock was rejuvenating. Crawling out now, I’m looking forward to life in the light and I’m excited about sharing the fruits of my labor with you.

  

The Signature Collection is in the final stages of completion. You’ll find the completed series on my website in the coming weeks.

An artist opens a dialog with strangers though her art. It’s an invitation to see the world though her eyes. 

Tell me what you see.
