Alex Anagnostou

Alex Anagnostou, born in Toronto, has danced around with the visual arts for over 20 years. Sculpting blown and cast glass since 2000, much of her conceptual work is inspired by how glass has expanded our ability to see on a microscopic and telescopic level. She is an observer of human nature and is interested in how individuals interact within their social and physical environment. Her sculptures explore issues of space, energy, human behaviour, movement and interconnectedness.

Alex is an artist in residence at the Living Arts Centre glass studio where she sculpts cast and blown glass. She has a studio in Toronto where she assembles and cold works her pieces. Alex holds two fine art-related degrees from the University of Toronto (B.A. Fine Arts Management) and the University of Western Ontario (B.Ed. Visual Arts). She graduated with a silver medal from the School of Crafts and Design specializing in glass at Sheridan College in Canada.

Alex has received twelve awards in the last five years including a scholarship from the Glass Art Society based in Seattle, WA and a residency at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. She has been selected for numerous juried exhibitions including the Glass Art Association of Canada’s National Emerging Glass Art Exhibition and Le Verre “hot”, an exhibition of innovative glass in Canada.

Alex was the featured artist at West End Gallery’s glass exhibition in the summer and will have a solo show at Material Matters Gallery in Toronto in May 2007. Commissions include working with award-winning II by IV Design Associates Inc. to complete a 12 x 16’ wall installation of blown glass. Her work is represented in eight galleries in Canada and two in the U.S. and is held in private collections in five countries.

Nad Vallee

Nad Vallée est née à Paris. Elle vit et travaille dans les Alpes Maritimes. Après avoir suivi des études artistiques, elle obtient le Diplôme de l'Ecole Supérieure des Arts Modernes de Paris et de l'Ecole du Louvre. Graphiste dans la Publicité à Paris durant 20 ans, elle éprouve ensuite le besoin de projeter l'image dans l'espace. C'est en travaillant la terre que la rencontre avec le volume et la matière s'est réalisée. Mais il lui manquait la transparence. Le verre donc s'imposait. Elle suit une formation à l'Université du Verre de Sars-Poteries et à l'Atelier du Verre à Paris. Dès 1996 elle crée son atelier à côté de Fontainebleau qu'elle quitte en 2000 pour s'installer dans le Sud-Est de la France. Ses perpétuelles recherches sur les aspects du verre et les oppositions entre transparence et opacité aboutissent à la création “d'une pierre de lumière”.
Elle associe la terre, la pierre, la lave qui, comme le cristal est née d'une fusion, et le béton dans ses dernières créations. Elle utilise le langage universel et intemporel des symboles (signes ethniques, empreintes, traces, signes de vie, mémoire du temps). Elle crée un monde au-delà des formes où la couleur s'épanouit au gré de la lumière et de l'espace. Le sens général de son travail peut se définir par la communion d'un élément matière complémentaire à un élément lumière créés et unis au cours d'un chemin d'émotions.

Simone Moore. " For me,to have an idea that my own skills could not achieve has always been anacceptable.To have an idea that streched and extended my skills was all the better,but if the piece was just about showing off those skills then result would be soulless"

Patty Lakinsmith

Patty Lakinsmith: "While I have been a bead fan since the 70s, I started melting glass sometime around 2002, and have been hopelessly addicted ever since. My work is mostly organic, but above all reflects my love of color. I make my own clasps with precious metal clay (100% pure silver), and use fine silver wire to make pieces that are truly unique. I find making beads to be an enchanting, addictive labor of love that offers me endless streams of ideas."
