Director of the Washington Glass School since 2005, I specialize in teaching the sgraffito glassmaking technique. A recipient of the 2012 Fulbright Scholarship, I completed my work at the University of Sunderland and served as an artist-in-residence at the Institute for International Research in Glass. As an artist/educator, I've taught at prestigious institutions worldwide. Massachusetts’ Fuller Craft Museum mounted a solo show of my glass panels and sculpture in 2011, where they have my artwork in their permanent collection.

The marriage of her formal science and art education lets her exploit this relatively new practice.

Lonnie Q. Ingram is a wire sculptor, originally from Washington, D. C. and currently residing in Baltimore, MD, where he established his art and design business, Lonnetrix, in 2012. As sole proprietor, he is regarded as an innovator and an inspiration to those who have experienced his work. Mr. Ingram is self-taught and uses wire to re-create form. After years of creating wire sculptures, he created his own style, which he dubbed "Lonnetrix." Lonnetrix, similar to weaving with wire, allows Mr. Ingram to combine everyday shapes and guiding lines to create innovative wire sculptures.

Ever since I can remember I have been a dreamer, a creator, and someone who is fiercely devoted to self expression and kindness.
