The Artist
ALICE BENVIE GEBHART: Fused /Kiln Fired Glass Artist
My subject matter is the everyday scene. I work at translating and elevating the average, day-to-day into a brilliant celebration. Being born into an artistic family, my father and grandfather were practicing artists, I continue the family legacy with glass. I choose the landscape and nature as my subject. I am captivated when finding appealing combinations of elements in the everyday scene. Driving down a winding road or passing a sun drenched tree with a long cast shadow inspires me to capture the moment in my kiln fired creations. Glass is the media that reveals this natural vibrancy to its utmost. I enjoy the technique of using glass to create something that is both abstract and literal.
