Art - Glass

Aronzon received her MFA in Glass from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1992, and a BFA in Painting from California State University at Northridge in 1980. She is an exhibiting member of the American Craft Council and the California Contemporary Craft Association.

Born and raised in Los Angeles CA, until the age of 23 years when she moved to Sonoma CA, after experiencing life in the wine country she went to learn the art of glassblowing at CCAC.

Upon finishing graduate school she worked in a cooperative glass studio for four years until she was able to build her own glass blowing studio in 1998. In the future Aronzon hopes to balance her production glass blowing with figure drawing and landscape painting.

Since 1992, Nancy Otto has been working in the medium of glass. Her work is dedicated to her father and the special relationship they shared. They learned how to blow glass together, and when he passed away unexpectedly in 1999, Nancy reevaluated her life and decided to pursue glass blowing as a career.



Nancy’s work is primarily focused on pushing the limits of functional form incorporating unique and dramatic applications of color and design. She likes to work with layers of color on both the interior and exterior of a piece creating an overall effect that draws one deeper into the work.



Nancy has studied at Pilchuck Glass School (WA), The Studio at Corning (NY), and Penland School of Crafts (NC). Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States. To find Nancy’s work, go to the nearest gallery or show listed at www.nancyottoglass.com.

Blown glass is the embodiment of sensuous form, dancing light, vivid color and pattern. Experiencing glass can be a riotous party or a quiet moment. Holly Wallace's art glass is all of that and more.

Holly makes "functional art" which consists of bowls, vases, illuminated sculptures and custom lighting.

In a field that is artistically and physically demanding, Holly is one of the few women who run their own blown glass studios. Her work is collected by those who value a lively and original expression of beauty.
