kiln formed glass art

ABOUT DENISE MURPHY

I am an artist drawn to the beauty but also to the potential in the world around me. I see in the mundane the vision of what  could become. I use my craft to capture the beauty of nature by transforming base material into art. Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in the translucence, fluidity and elemental nature of glass. While the interplay of color and light in the glass appeals to my artistic eye, it is the texture, movement and interplay of these colors and textures that informs my artwork. In this way I bring my visions into the three dimensional space of the viewer.

While I mainly work with the media of glass, I am also a mosaic and fiber artist. My glass art borrows heavily from my early foundation in fiber art; particularly with a woven technique that allows glass to simulate the texture and draping of textiles. I am also inspired by how the same subject can be seen in so many different ways and how our collective diversity creates a more interesting and inspired story. In this way, my art is both deeply personal and an act of connecting with others.

My mission as an artisan is to express my vision through a variety of media that stimulates the tactile and visual senses.

Denise is an award winning glass artist and recipient of the Community Foundation for Northeast Florida Art Ventures Grant.  She currently resides and works on Amelia Island, Florida.
