Artist Statement:
Glass is my medium and my
passion. Ever since I was
first introduced to its
crystalline forms and
iridescent colors, my
imagination was consumed. My
work primarily focuses on
kiln-fused techniques in which
many variations of colored and
dichroic glass are pieced
together in representational
as well as abstract objects of
personal adornment. This
medium for me is an expression
of light in solid form.
Through constant exploration,
I continue to strive to
produce pieces with an inner
significance, often
accentuating my creations with
precious metals, gemstone
accents, and intricate wire
work. Producing art with this
vision is my ultimate goal…art
meant to be worn and enjoyed.

| Your Personal Biography |
Dolores Barrett was born in San Mateo, California in 1961.
She pursued a career in music after attending Ventura College
and the University of California, Santa Barbara where she specialized in
orchestral and choral conducting. Dolores later became a full time
music teacher, pianist, and medieval music specialist
spreading her joy of the art to hundreds of students.
In 1999, Dolores discovered her talent for painting and began a career as a
fine porcelain artist. Her works have appeared at the prestigious
New York Yorkie Club as well as the Chicago Toy Spaniel Club
and other national kennel organizations.
While attending the International Porcelain Artist's convention in the
summer of 2002, Dolores was introduced to dichroic glass and its application
to ceramic bodies. The allure of art glass ignited a new passion in her work
and she soon devoted her energies to the evolution of glass adornment in both
its fused and laminated forms.
