"Growing up in Northern Wisconsin on 
the shores of Lake Superior,  I was
always fascinated with the world of
nature surrounding me. The silhouette
of a weeping willow at sunset, the
symmetry of patterns left in the
sand as waves kissed the beach and the colors of a stormy sky moved my imagination."


Gla
ss artist Donna Ernst is inspired by nature.  Though much of her work is classic and traditional, she is especially drawn to the organic.  Working with an open flame and glass rods in the centuries-old tradition of lampworking, she creates glass beads and sculptural pieces. Ernst also works with dichroic glass and creates gorgeous fused pieces.
