Janet Sams

Broken glass is my current medium. I’ve worked with mosaic, acrylic, fabric, and now glass. I love the vibrant colors and random shapes of the glass, which cause me to think outside the box to develop my next shattered glass creation.

I look for texture, shape, and color when I source my glass from glass blowers and other facilities rich with discarded glass shards, tempered glass, and stained glass. Finding unwanted glass that I can upcycle into coastal-themed glass art thrills me. I’m never sure how I will use the pieces I find, but I know they are pleasing to look at, and I keep a significant stash of glass for all projects! I believe in helping our ecology by recycling and repurposing glass into nature-themed art.

My Inspiration
Hiking, kayaking, gardening, and travel give me mental images of broken glass art that fuel my creative work. My friends and family give me a positive perspective on the artistic process. Working with glass is a passion; everything I create is a joy. I know I’ve finished a piece when I smile spontaneously.
