"Nature on Fire" by Wanda Tyner

WANDA TYNER reflects her adventurous spirit and passion for exploring and storytelling. She enjoys the focus and precision it takes to design, combine colors, textures, shapes and techniques to create kiln-formed glass art that can be bright, bold, subtle, or textured.   Tyner is fascinated with the scientific properties of glass and the endless possibilities through kiln-forming. She incorporates the design principles of balance, focus and harmony while creating unique fused glass artwork and functional food-safe pieces. Tyner loves infusing the vibrant colors from the world in which we live into her art. Her distinctive designs are inspired as she cuts glass into geometric and abstract shapes juxtaposing wild, chaotic design elements with serene backgrounds and symmetry creating pattern, movement and form. She manipulates and forms the glass shapes with flow, dimension and texture inside her kiln.   Every piece of her artwork has a story that represents nature, a specific subject, a client’s vision, an emotion, an exploration of combining colors and patterns, or my own whimsy.
