Transitioning from the business world to being a full time artist has been a gradual process.
I have always loved the process of making art. Since following a course in off-loom beadweaving in 1997, creating beadwoven art has been my focus and passion.
Beads and beadwork have been around since ancient times. In recent years, bead art created with a modern twist on age old techniques has been growing as a visible contemporary art form.
I create ornamental works in the form of wall art, sculptural objects, and jewellery.
In my work I use a particular type of tiny cylindrical glass bead that interlocks evenly when woven. This results in a fabric-like patterned surface which could be flat or dimensional depending on technique used.
The interplay of light on the beads is an important part of my design. The desired result is achieved by using a varying selection of beads from opaque to translucent, each of which has different light reflecting qualities.
Beadweaving is extremely time consuming. A square inch of beading contains nearly 300 beads. Countless hours go into the design and creation of a piece.
My designs tend to be very detailed and ornate.
I am inspired by elaborate pattern and decoration found in cultural designs, textiles, architecture, ancient artifacts, the natural world, to name a few.
I aim to make work that is timeless, pleasing to the eye and evokes curiosity in a viewer.
I am constantly experimenting with new ideas in order to create unique one-off pieces.

Kazumi Ikemoto uses imaginary half-man, half-beast creatures in scenes vaguely reminiscent of something "you have seen before". The upturned, innocent eyes of the characters, not unlike those found in contemporary styles of animation and comics often associated with Japanese contemporary art, rivet the viewers. Floating above architectural realms that reflect the years he spent in Italy, his 360 degree scenes are depicted around the curved surface of large glass vessels. Ikemoto depicts a hazy world of chaotic memories where reality and fantasy intersect, half where the past and the present co-exist.
His images appear to be painted on the glass but are instead created by an elaborate process that produces a rich depth of hues: using a simple nozzle he blows vitreous enamel pigments onto the glass surface, then removes excess pigments with a brush and fires the layer at a temperature of 560 degree C. He repeats the process layer by layer of color.
In addition to his career as an independent artist, Ikemoto is a professor at the Tama Art Institute, where the first glass art program in Japan was established. His work is exhibited in galleries and museums throughout Asia, Europe and the USA.

Sunset in the world's oldest desert is not to be missed, though getting to this very spot isn't all that easy. After white-knuckle driving a 4x4 vehicle for miles through the deep sand of Namib-Naukluft National Park, we ventured into the desert with few directions, as the wind had covered any prior footsteps. For a long time we searched, and I decided to go over one more sand dune when all of a sudden, I found Deadvlei. A dried-up salt pan with 1,000-year-old preserved trees, it looks like art, surrounded by sand that changes color with the setting sun.
He was born Corrado 'Dino' Martens in Venice. Like many of the great Murano glass designers of the 20th century, Dino Martens was an accomplished painter. Working with the Aureliano Toso glass factory he produced a remarkable series of vases between 1946 and 1960 which combined traditional Venetian techniques with bold colors and asymmetrical forms.
He regularly participated in the Venice Biennale between the years of 1924 through 1934. In 1947, Martens was appointed the artistic director of Aureliano Toso where he remained until retiring in 1959. Martens passed away in 1970.
JP Long is a widely collected sculptor and artist residing in the San Francisco Bay Area; he is represented by fine art galleries in Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Sonoma, Palm Desert, and Toronto. Born in Boston, MA, he studied jewelry/metal arts at California College of the Arts. For over a decade, he has worked with internationally acclaimed artist Bella Feldman and shares studio space with her in Oakland, CA.
Long's career launched in the mid-2000s with a series of large glass-and-steel sculptures brimming with tensions and unexpected harmonies. Impressed by the force of primary colors, he added planes of color to his steel sculptures-to striking effect. Long also developed a series of canvasses parallel to his sculptural work, featuring breathtaking oxidation and carbon patterns, most recently against bold fields of color.
Resonant with modernist geometry and a minimalist aesthetic, Long's artwork probes spectrums of serendipity and structure. Controlled experimentation lends texture to his work-e.g., hand blown glass in his sculptures or unpredictable oxidation and carbon patterns in his canvasses. This technique, along with their eye-catching compositions, electrifies the pieces with a sense of impending animation. In his ongoing investigation of form, mass, and movement, Long imaginatively negotiates the physical capacities, as well as the conceptual opportunities, of his diverse materials.

Dagmar Pánková was born in 1971 in ?eská Lípa. After graduating from the Secondary School of Applied Arts, where she studied painting on glass, worked as a designer in the company Egermann-Exbor, where she created her first utility designs.In 1995 she travelled to Great Britain, where she attended courses in ceramics under the guidance of artist David Fry (Newcastle upon Tyne).

In 2005, she founded a design studio Bystro Design along with her partner L. Smejkal, and started to create design series for the studio at a larger scale.Dagmar Pánková has always placed emphasis on the utility of forms, but her work also has its own hyperbole and wit. Some collections, such as Walt Disney Presents, are full of gesture and caricature, a set of bowls "Pads" with sanded inscriptions in Gothic script refers sarcastically to old German sayings.
