I started making fused glass art and functional pieces in my home in Central Oregon when I was in the final phases of completing my PhD.  The mix of academic thought and artistic play inspired the name PhG.


The landscapes and people in Central Oregon are what moved me to craft cowboy boots from glass! 
This piece is 12wX14h and held in a black metal frame (included). 
The background color is cream colored.
The cowboy boot is brown, red, and black and white swirls.
$165.00. 

                      

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” 

― Aristotle


  


What is Philosophy of Glass?     



It is a way of being-solid, yet vulnerable.  It is a way of thinking-clear and sharp but capable of being softened and reformed.  It is a way of knowing-accepting the existence of one form and using it to mold others.  This is my approach to life and to my art.  This is the philosophy of glass.

Hello, I am Alisa, a doctor of philosophy, an educator, a nurse, and a glass artist.  I am so fascinated by how our world has become connected, by the ways we can reach out and touch each other and how because of this connectedness our minds are challenged and our thoughts expanded.  I am excited to now share my work and my ideas with you.  My hope is that you enjoy what I produce and are challenged, if even a little, by what you find here.
