Nancy Erikson Fused Glass

The magical qualities of light passing through the shapes and layers of colors has drawn me to fused glass. My work is both functional and decorative. It includes vases, bowls, platters, and ornaments in varying shapes and sizes. I am drawn to bright, vibrant colors. The most common comment I hear about my work is that piece makes me smile. That makes me smile!

Katie McLaughlin lives in Tazewell County, Virginia. Katie has raised sheep and hand-spun their wool for over 20 years. Her Lincoln, Cotswold, and Leicester Longwool sheep are all long-wooled varieties. She washes, cards, picks, and spins the wool into yarn completely by hand. The colors of her yarn come from the various natural browns and grays of her sheep.

I painted over 800 originals in all sizes, largest 5 x7 feet. I have been showing my art in Germany, als at Liechtenstein Studio in NYC. I grew up in Bavaria, Germany. I put positive intentions for the view of my art consciously into every dot I paint.

I am a retired logger, born and raised in Southwest Virginia. I'm inspired by the traditional way of living in the Appalachian mountains. I enjoy making dough bowls and other wooden products that are not only nice to look at, but can also be used in every day life. I have always had an interest in the old timey ways and enjoy putting my traditional handtools to work. I am pleased to be a juried member of RTM, Southern Highland Craft Guild and Black Horse Artisans.
