Born in Alaska, Michelle Copeland has been practicing
Glass Art since 1991in the following disciplines -

Stained Glass
Lampworking
Fusion and Slumping
Slumped & hand-painted glass
Sandblasting
Blown Glass

Largely self-taught, Michelle's unusual approach to glass is
exhibited in her art, capturing elegance, energy and playful color in her work.
Each piece is individually created by the artist herself - her
unique approach to glass adds interest, prestige and value.
Line, form, color and movement are key ingredients that combine
to articulate Copeland's distinctive style.

"There is a certain peacefulness I experience while creating glass.
I am sure this positive energy lives within each finished piece."
~Michelle Copeland
