Helen Rudy
" I am interested in how colors mix and react to create depth and balance in the piece. I focus on the subtle effects light can have on the art."
Helen Rudy came to creating beautiful fused glass pieces from a non-traditional background in construction management. Her attention to color detail, layering, and saturation heralds back to her degree. Her crisp and clean designs clearly focus on the interaction of light and its effect on the glass.
Each piece of glass is measured and hand cut. By layering one color or many different colors on top of each other, a bright and bold design is created. The glass is first fired in a kiln to about 1500 degrees F to melting or fusing point. Sometimes a second firing is needed to create a shape. The glass can be in the kiln for several days before finishing.
Almost entirely self taught, Rudy attended workshops with Milon Townsend, and Lisa Voigt, attended the Pilchuck Scool of Glass to study with Alicia Lomne, and in 2011 studied casting Pate De Verre with Anna Boothe.

Helen's work is truly quite stunning. This is my 7th peice and all of them are prominently hung in my home on the lake in Tennessee. This particular work, hangs in our Big Room and accentuates the colors already flowing from the lake itself. This and all of Helen's works are well made, sturdy and ready to hang. I cannot recommend 'Blue Galacial Pools' or Helen Rudy any higher.

In an apartment with a mainly blue motif, this art piece is perfect for a residential unit that looks out onto the Chesapeake Bay (when the trees are shorn of leaves). We are very pleased with our purchase.
