Tina's Art Studio
Welcome to my studio.            
I attempt to capture nature's
beauty through sketching,
photography, painting, mosaics,
carving, etching and sculpting.  
Etched Glass
Show Schedule 2012
I love texture and form and have
always had a deep appreciation
for any art form that is visually
stimulating.   My work gives me
great pleasure.  With each
project I take in the curves,
edges, shadows and visual
vibrations of a subject and then
translate the experience into a
physical object that can be
displayed on a wall or table - or
simply held in one's hand.
Painted Glass
My subjects are generally items
found in a natural setting - trees,
barns, water, stone, wood,
flowers, etc.  With each project I
strive to produce an image that
reflects the beauty and rhythm of
nature, stirs the senses and
rewards the spirit.  I believe that
nature, itself, is far more
beautiful than anything we can
contrive independently, and I
remain dedicated to preserving
nature's beauty in whatever
medium I use - eggshell,
seashell, glass, photograph,
stone, bone, canvas or wood.
Carved Eggshells
Photographs
My art education began with
studies at the Baum Art School
in Allentown, PA in 1963.  My
interest in photography didn't
begin until 1996 when I began
taking pictures of striking objects
and scenes from which to sketch
and paint.  From my first photo
shoot I was hooked.  On that day
the principles of my art training,
experimental nature and
appreciation for technology
came together as one.

Pencil Sketches
Most recently, I've developed a
fascination for etching glass and
carving and sculpting egg
shells.  Each shell or piece of
glass has it's own properties and
each project and design
provides a new set of challenges.
