The beauty, colour and textures of glass takes on a life of its own as it interacts with different light sources. Kelly works with glass in a variety of ways which includes traditional stained glass techniques and kiln fused glass whereby layers of meticulously hand cut glass are fired in a kiln.Whether they be architectural applications, home decor, mosaics, sculptures, autonomous panes or jewelry, her designs incorporate organic forms and or geometric patterns often with a sense of movement or optical vibration.Her architectural experience and art training help support both an analytical and intuitive process to provide a truly unique crafted piece.
