OPENING JUNE 7
- Artist Beth Ziss celebrates 25
years
- of glass art with her new show entitled, Glass
Fusions - Texture, Color, Light at the Findlay
Art League, 117 West Crawford St., Findlay, OH.
The show will feature glass artwork, such as:
jewelry, art glass panels, collectible Depression
glass works, new fused glass portraits, and much
more.
- Beth began her art career exploring many types
of mediums from oil painting, acrylic painting, and
pottery. After early experimentation with glass, she
found her passion. Her long career in glass has
produced unique, beautiful stained glass panels,
mosaics, wearable and functional art. “I love the
way glass can be transparent, translucent, opaque,
jewel like, luminous, radiant, and reflective. The
variety of colors and the way glass can be
manipulated is endless,” says Beth.
- Ziss has won numerous awards from various U.S.
states, and was chosen to display glassworks in the
Toledo Museum of Art. She is a member of the Findlay
Art League, and has her work on display at the
Findlay, OH The Gaslight Gallery, the Grand Rapids,
OH, Angelwood Gallery, and the Delaware, OH, Arts
Castle.

family members displaying glass related photography,
jewelry, and floral design.

on June 7, from 5-9 P.M. and continue June 8-15,
from 12:00-6:00 P.M. Beth can be contacted at
