About the Artist
I'm Dani, a retired chemistry professor and glass artist in Cincinnati, OH, dreaming up unique creations in fused glass jewelry, ornaments, stand-up statues, and functional art bowls/dishes for entertaining and everyday fun. All items are hand-crafted by me from "scratch" - I produce the pieces from sheets of glass in my home studio.My fusing journey began over 12 years ago at a social event at a local glass studio. I've always been "crafty" - sewing, knitting, crocheting and such - so glass became another medium for me to explore creative ideas. My background in chemistry has helped my understanding of how glass behaves and the possible reactions of colors to provide some surprising results. I love teaching and incorporating science into my art. My pieces contain elements of classic quilts, Fibonacci sequences, Einstein shapes, and more. And nothing goes to waste - leftovers from larger projects are recycled into smaller pieces like "scrap" hearts, abstract jewelry & dishes, and accompanying pieces for large dishes.
For me, my art is at its best when it can be both visually pleasing and functional. I think a beautiful dish makes food taste even better and beautiful jewelry makes every outfit special. I want my art to help people have a beautiful day every day.
This eclectic collection of pendants, earrings, and sets will complement any outfit. From bold to subtle colors to shimmer & shine, you'll find just the right piece. Commissions accepted.
Stand-up statues, both realistic & abstract, are crafted from glass. They add a touch of whimsy to any decor.

This video gives an idea of how a piece is produced from concept to finish. See the starting sheet glass, the cuts & designs, and the fusing steps. the piece, Meandering Along, has gone on to a new home.
These pieces are made from glass that I hand cast myself during a week-long visit to Bullseye Glass in Portland, OR. This unique glass has bright, bold, rich colors that can react with each other to give subtle variation in patterns.
