Three-dimensional prismatic, reflective fused glass landscapes
Dundee, Illinois
barbbeck​ma​nart​glass​.com

With my background in architecture, for the past 30 years I have found glass to be the perfect medium to express my passion due to its capacity to portray depth, its reflective qualities and the vibrancy of its color. My work is based on the natural world, as I find that time in nature encourages reflection, mindfulness and gratitude. Each glass tile painting is fired numerous times at different temperatures to achieve the variety of textures as well as a sense of depth in each piece. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions about a piece or if you would like to make a purchase.

This fused glass painting is formed from sheet glass, crushed glass and flame-bent stringers. There are quite literally hundreds of stringers that make up the field of wheat. Light glistens through the many layers because of the mirror behind it. It was fired four times at different temperatures to achieve a depth and texture that could not be achieved otherwise. When the firing is complete, it is mounted in front of a mirror on a custom made powder coated aluminum frame.

This fused glass painting was inspired by a trip we made last fall to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe is one of my favorite places to spend time. This piece is formed from clear colorless sheet glass, colored crushed glass bits called frit and flame pulled glass stringers which form the branches of the cottonwoods. This piece was fired three times, twice to get the deep color seen in the sunset as well as the mountains. The last firing is completed at a lower temperature so that I am left with some texture, which gives the piece a sense of depth. When the firing is complete, it is mounted in front of a mirror on glass posts in a black shadowbox frame.

 This fused glass painting provides a pleasant memory of a swing in fall. It is composed of clear, colorless sheet glass and colored crushed glass bits called frit. The oranges and reds are a brilliant combination of both transparent and opaque glasses, which when fired to a lower temperature, leave a texture on the surface which light catches on and creates a glittering surface as well as a sense of depth. When the firing is complete, it is mounted in front of a mirror on glass posts in a black shadowbox frame.
