Biography:
Sharon
McConnell believes that you don’t have to save the “good
china” for special occasions. Everyday objects can be both
useful AND beautiful.
Sharon
has always been interested in the arts. Her family encouraged her
to participate in music and dance throughout her childhood; she
went on to study drawing and two dimensional design at the University
of Wisconsin. While she was there, she met her husband Dennis, who
was pursuing an art degree.
A fused
glass class introduced Sharon to a new art form -- one that had
color and depth. Glass has become the perfect medium for her to
make everyday objects into an art form! Sharon is thrilled to have
the opportunity to share her work with others.

Statement:
Beauty is only
skin deep- unless you are talking about glass. Your enjoyment of
fused glass isn’t just on the surface. Look inside and see
layers, angles, lines and color.
My
art focuses heavily on one idea- that things can be lovely and useful
at the same time. I invite you to use my fused glass to make you’re
day a little more bright and exciting!
