Taffy-like ripples of black and white over marigold yellow, complex patterned murrine, floating threads of glass, and raised rings of glass powder. You'll want to run your fingers over them every time you walk by.

Threads of black glass, scattered over creamy vanilla, one segment shining with iridescence, set the tempo for the symphony. Look into the edge, and you can look under the black glass threads!

You can't help but touch the three-dimensional wafers of powdered glass, marching in time over a grid of floating lines.

Segments of patterned glass cane sport swirling half-circles and juicy yellow centers. Others contain complex patterns of creamy lines in their centers. Along the rim, you can look into the middle of the cane.

In one quadrant, taffy-like ripples of black and white float over marigold yellow. Across the bowl, stripes of parchmenty vanilla surround a floating block of melted and rippling cream.

There's something new to see every time you look at the composition.

The glass cylinders in this bowl are murrini: sections individually cut from hand-pulled glass cane, which I create by heating glass to 1500 degrees and pulling it into rods while molten in a modern-day adaptation of the 16th century techniques of the Murano glassmakers.

Fused, coldworked, and slumped with a gentle swell in the middle.

"There is no such thing as too much color."

Karen Wallace loves color. This seems at odds with her medium of glass: a clear, transparent barrier between us and the outside, the heat, the cold, the rain, the dust; preferably so colorless and flawless that it disappears. But glass can also be vibrant and full of energy, and there is transformative magic in turning cold, sterile sheets of raw material into the complex motifs Karen favors.

Whether it's a modern-day take on the traditional murrine construction of sixteenth-century Murano, Italy, or carefully-engineered flowing and mingling, Karen enjoys creating special glass components and then designing her work around them. Elements of a finished piece have frequently undergone several firings on their way to the final artwork.

A computer nerd by vocation, Karen's glass journey began with stained glass. Feeling constrained by flat panes, she took a fusing class and got hooked on warm glass. Living near one of the country's preeminent glass teaching studios, she had the great fortune of learning from a variety of domestic and international visiting instructors as well the award-winning artist owners.
