About the Artist
I have always loved art, so while growing up I took all the art classes that were offered in school. I wanted to create art, not just appreciate it, but during my working career there never seemed to be enough time to do so. Somehow I found jewelry making and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color, design, and texture, it was a great stress-reliever, an outlet for my creativity, and it filled a void I hadn't realized I had. When I became a member of an artists' co-op in Colorado Springs, I was constantly admiring the work of the glass artists there, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fuse glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciate all types of art even more than I did before. Making art is always a learning experience. And when everything goes right, the end result brings me joy and nurtures my soul, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Being an artist is an ongoing journey. Each new piece helps me grow as an artist and a person. I love it.- https://www.deetaube.com/home

About the Art
About the Process
I am very much at the effect of my senses. And I love color. Often I start with a piece of glass and randomly place components on it that I have previously made. I do this placing and removing until something sparks. When this happens, pieces and components seem to come together of their own accord until the piece feels complete. However, there are also times when I randomly see an image in a magazine, on the internet, or on TV that captures my imagination. That image will translate into fused glass in a completed piece that looks very different from the image that inspired it. For this second process, I intentionally look for things that are not glass to give me that fresh inspiration.Explore Nearby Studios
