About Tricia Hemminger

I'm a Creative -- an artist. I've been an artist all my life. I've always known that.


Each medium in which I work, I look to transform -- giving clay, glass or canvas a soul -- while creating a visual treat for the eyes.

I am moved by dimensional work and gravitate toward the hot arts -- things that involve a kiln, fire, soldering, casting, torches, welding, a glow.

Although I have been a ceramic artist for 20 years, my current passion is glass, fusion and lampworking. My glass art knows no limits. It can be shiny, smooth, bumpy, reflective, reactive, heavy or light. The work flows through me, allowing the glass to come to life in new and inspiring ways.

Art should reflect the world not as it is, but the world as it ought to be. I hope that my Art makes you smile and takes your breath away.
