Edie Shelton

Edie finds that many of her designs and her motivation come from the winter scenery in Sisters Country and the amazing natural color of the flowers in the early summer. Edie's Christmas ornaments and sun catchers shaped as mountains are her favorite smaller pieces. She has recently incorporated sunflowers and wild flowers into many of her larger pieces. Her passion for fused glass can be seen in all her works such as platters, plates, hanging wall art, and plant sticks.

“ I love to play with the colors of glass and am inspired everyday by this beautiful planet we live on!...(Glass) mosaics have become a great medium to gather up all that inspires and contain it just a bit.”
