Barbara Svetlick - Sculpture Glass Artist

Hardest thing in the world is to scrunch your life into a paragraph that can define you.  I am whimsical and practical, silly and serious but mostly I am at a period in my short stay here in this world very happy.  I have been making glass flower beads and leaves since 2003 and in fact learned to create on the torch for the only purpose of making flowers.  My creativity is in multimedia rather then jewelry.  I love to draw, doodle, paint, glue and recreate.  I want my work to find the person who is inspired by its very essence.

 

After a long marriage, raising a family and a career in criminal law, I made the decision to clean out all the dust bunnies and same ole' same ole' in life.  I became single for a few years, which is how long it took to get my bearings, quit my job and moved from South Florida to New Mexico to marry glass sculpture artist Lewis Wilson.  It was a lesson in you never know where you will go when you break all the bonds and ties that limit your imagination.  I have no fear of what years I may have left, I wear no watches nor have any schedules on a day to day basis but mostly I have found a soulmate in both my personal world and the art world. 

 

I am an artist, I am a woman and I rock!

Opps - I was too busy moving
