Shawn Messenger’s work has been greatly influenced by her love of nature and the wonders it has to offer us. She has tried to incorporate her fondness for flowers and gardens with glass to create an impressionistic vision of the landscape.

The glass murrinis in her work represent the flower. These flowers together become a field of color floating between grasses and stones. Each piece is individually designed and hand-blown, using colored glass powders and chips.

Her works can be found in private collections throughout the US and around the world and now at Gallery on First! Stop in and see the beauty.
