A little about Nadine Booth: Nadine started working in glass when she moved from her home town of Pittsburgh, PA to Hobart, IN back in 1991. She took a class in stained glass and has been hooked ever since. Now living in Glendale, AZ, she continues her self-taught glass artistry, at her home studio, Hidden Glass Studio. In 2012, she was looking for a challenge within fused glass and after a trip to Yellowstone, she began to learn and explore the makings of nature scenes. The inspirations were endless! After investing countless hours exploring, experimenting, testing, color correcting and creating various techniques, Naturescapes evolved. Each time Nadine creates a nature panel, she includes more advanced details within her fused glass panels. Nadine's technique uses one base sheet and adds various forms of glass, torching, coldworking and several kiln sessions, that brings depth and texture to invite the viewer to take a walk into nature.
