GAZING THROUGH GLASS

Making the broken beautiful, and the invisible, visible!

Sandy

As a devoted mother of four and a grandmother to 9, Sandy has always been driven by a profound passion for the arts. She began her creative journey with oil painting, but after developing severe allergies, she seamlessly transitioned to watercolor, and eventually embraced the boundless possibilities of mixed media. Sandy’s artistic evolution took a new turn when she recognized the therapeutic value of glasswork for her eldest daughter, Jaclyn. Joining forces with Jaclyn, Sandy now creates extraordinary, one-of-a-kind glass pieces that dazzle and inspire. Together, they craft custom, sparkling artworks tailored to the unique needs of their expanding clientele, solidifying their place in the art world with their distinctive creations.

 

Jaclyn

A Baylor graduate diagnosed at age 30 with RSD
after a fall from a ladder, Jaclyn was forced to give up
her career as a stem cell transplant nurse.
In addition to the RSD, she was diagnosed with 21+
diseases - many of which are rare and/or incurable – that all connect back to the RSD. Her life was turned upside down and she struggled to find a new purpose in life. Working with glass has helped her to push through the pain to create beauty from the broken glass, piecing together her life as she pieces together each new work of art. In January of 2020, she began learning both digital and non-digital lettering to add to her portfolio. This additional technology was quickly expanded to include learning how to edit the video art lessons for Sandy's grandkids during quarantine. With the new knowledge from the kids art videos, Jacki did something that Sandy tried to teach her many years ago. She picked up a watercolor brush and proved that anything is possible when you just try.
