Doris Ross

Doris Ross' fascination with glass became a serious creative pursuit in this millennium. Training with Kari Minnick and others led her to explore the frontiers of working in warm glass and enhance her journey on the glass horizon. She fuses layers of glass at up to 1,500’F in an electric kiln in multiple firings. Her work is often inspired by the glory and splendor of nature--its innumerable acts of random beauty. She likes to vitrify leaves in their eternal tumble between earth and sky, or work with metal inclusions, especially silver and gold leaf. Much of her work is constructed like a puzzle, bringing together experiences and impressions, shapes and textures, colors and depth, to create work that challenges the viewer to discover its mysteries over time—building on minds being opened by first glance curiosity. She rejoices in the wonderful luminosity of glass and indulges in color—unabashedly… Working in fused glass is her favorite meditation.
