| Glass...a simple substance made from sand...to most, a building material, a window on the world to be seen through... but in the hands of an artist, it becomes a precious gem, a gleaming, multi-faceted malleable canvas where limitation gives way to imagination, vision becomes creation, and light itself breathes the life that is the soul of art into the singular beauty of every timeless piece. |
| For almost three decades, Reji's love affair with glass has produced incredible and extremely eclectic works seen all over the world, from simple gifts, to the 500 panels of her work that may be seen at the State Capitol of Texas. Reji has become the inspiration for a whole new generation of artists in glass, and the standard by which true artisans are measured. Her work includes acid etching, sandblasting (intaglio and relief carving), engraving, airbrushing, hot glass casting, reverse glass painting, fusing, and slumping. |
