Translations: An Exhibit of Fused-Glass Wall Art by Bettye Barclay Bettye Barclay, our award winning multi-media artist, has added yet another medium to her repertoire: fused glass. Her December Art Wall exhibit features “Translations” from previous works in acrylic, clay, and watercolor into gorgeous and meticulously crafted wall hangings of fused glass. She has particularly enjoyed exploring stylized figures, masks, and abstract designs. The show includes glass interpretations of “Seasons of the Heart,” a series that Bettye did in clay several years ago. The Artist’s Opening Reception will be held Sunday, December 4, from 12 noon to 1:30pm. The exhibit will run through the end of the month. During the reception, many other pieces of Bettye’s work will be available for your consideration.
Bettye likes to think of her glass pieces as fancy and fun. By using iridized and dichroic specialty glass, she adds a touch of elegance to the fancy stylized figures. Fun shows up in the masks, funky faces, and totems, and in her colorful depiction of birds and fishes.
Bettye has won awards in local and national competitions for her clay creations and paintings. She has sold her one-of-a-kind clay creations in fine craft galleries throughout the United States. Her work is in collections in the US, Hong Kong, Korea, Canada, and Australia.
