Glass Designs by Alicia
Hi! I’m Alicia
Ortiz, the artist. Thank you for
visiting my website.
I love designing and
creating glass art using copper foil (also known as the Tiffany method),
lead came and mosaic.
It started as a
winter hobby about nine years ago but has become my passion in the last three. I was introduced to mosaic art about a year ago and once I started, the obsession took over!
What I love about working with
glass is the uniqueness and the abundance for creativity. No two pieces are
alike!
If you want to see a broader spectrum of my artwork, including pieces that have already been sold, please visit my photo gallery on Picasa or my Facebook page (links below).
I hope you like what you see. If you're interested in a different size or color scheme to fit your décor or to give as a special gift, call me at 919-824-4223 or contact me using the link below.
Thanks for stopping by.
