Painting by Doreen Hardiman

Janice Moorhead, Glass Artist

GLASS
In 1979 I received an honours degree in visual arts from the University of Ottawa. While my studies were mostly in the realm of painting and print making, it was quite soon after graduation that I discovered glass. Because of its luminosity and perfect surface quality it soon replaced paint as my medium of choice. Currently I am known across Canada for my glass work, having created a body of work over the past 30 years that employs a rather unique “painterly” approach to stained glass ( a layering technique that eliminates the need for the traditional soldered joint).  Glass dominates the field of vision, creating both intricate landscapes and whimsical vistas that interact with the play of light, always in a state of flux, depending on the season or the time of day. My work ranges from the small gift item ( 6in. X 7in.) to the larger public commission (panels up to 12 square feet).

 
PAINTING
My paintings of the past three years are all oil on canvas, and are an expression of my passion for music.  While not a musician myself, as an avid listener, music has always been a part of my heart and soul. The soundscape, as well as the visual aesthetic of the live performance both serve to inspire my creativity as I journey through my process as a glass artist and as a painter. I see connections in all art forms, whether it is music, visual art or writing.  Art-making for me is essentially that ever illusive quest for  beauty, or that perfect harmony of color and form  sometimes achieved when I catch myself in the zone where my creative intuition is at its best.
