Gigi’s path has followed a
lifelong
pursuit of arts and crafts. She is an
accomplished fused glass and flame
worked glass artist, wearable art
creator, and designer. Her love of the
landscape around her is evidenced in her
glass designs. This work blends the use
of kiln and torch, and of dichroic, and
non-coated glass, metals, and frits to
create depth, and dreams in glass
panels, tiles, beads, and wall hangings.
Her glass crafts emerge as a bright,
colorful, and fun look at the landscape.
A peek into her studio reveals an artist
in motion, constantly exploring, always
working in the moment.
Gigi holds a B.S. degree in Adult
Learning and Teaching from Granite State
College. She is a juried member of the
League of NH Craftsmen. Her work has
been exhibited at Gallery 205 of the
League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, the
New Hampshire Institute of Art, The
Sharon Arts Center, the Maine Maritime
Museum, and is found in private
collections. Her work is available for
sale by contacting the artist, at juried
fine art and craft shows in New
Hampshire, Maine, and Florida, and at
select galleries in New England.
Gigi is known for her landscapes in
glass picturing locations from Maine to
Alaska, from Florida to Colorado. A
display of her work evokes memories of
North American road trips. She has also
established a line of “jewelry for a
cause,” called the Slice-Of-Life. Each
piece contains a glass slice resembling
a slice of watermelon representing hope
and happiness. A portion of the proceeds
from this line benefit Hospice programs
and is devoted to families fighting
disease.
Gigi is blessed with wonderful family
and friends who support and encourage
her to follow her dreams. She and her
family live in Henniker, NH, and
Phippsburg, ME. She is inspired when
outside, and her motto is, “From the
Mountains to the Sea, I Create!”
