Imaginative Fused Glass by Ali Stinespring
Bella Vista Arkansas

"The work of an artist is to help others see and feel beauty."

I enjoy creating pieces that help us see the extraordinary in our ordinary lives. My primary vehicle of artistic expression is glass, although I often incorporate other mediums. My current focus is fused glass and I love the versatility of the medium. I can create anything from sun-catchers to jewelry to table tops and wall pieces. All of my designs are originals and many are customized to meet the desires of a client.

There have been numerous seasons in my art career. I have toured the U.S. participating in art shows, established an art store representing over 50 local artist, organized art and music festivals, served on community art projects, created permanent mosaics for a public installation, and now am happy to be working on my greatest creation-raising 2 children!

I have a BA from MSU in Springfield Missouri and have recently returned to the South after 10 years and extensive travels in Europe and Mexico. I am self taught in the area of fused glass, intrenched in the school of hard knocks, (will it break into pieces if I do this to it?) constantly exploring, adapting, and creating new designs. I love to incorporate feelings, colors, and emotions from my travels and life experiences in all of my pieces. I know you will enjoy each piece as much as I enjoy creating them.

My family and I reside in Northwest Arkansas and love to explore, hike, boat, and camp all over this beautiful state. It is a constant source of inspiration for me where the ideas come faster than I can create them! Thank you for looking!
