I was born in Chicago with half of my childhood raised there and the other half raised in a rural community about 80 miles west.\u00a0 I believe my creativity\u00a0in art and\u00a0love of\u00a0blues\u00a0and jazz came from my father.\u00a0 \u00a0Although my mother was and several of my relations are apt at drawing and some are musically inclined, I do not share those traits.<\/p>\n
I moved to Madison in 1979.\u00a0 I loved the city life as a young adult, but now I treasure the quiet country living where I live with my husband, 3 cats and 1 dog.<\/p>\n
My intrigue of glass began in 1999.\u00a0 I attended a stained glass class at The Vinery Stained Glass Studio in Madison and I was hooked.\u00a0 As my passion grew with each class, I began working with not only stained glass, but mosaics, silver clay and fused glass.\u00a0 My interest gravitated toward fused glass.\u00a0 The different techniques I learned and materials available to create the beautiful pieces, whether they are art displays, pendants, serving dishes, candle holders or snowflakes brought me great insight for my new journey.<\/p>\n
I decided to peddle my wares and needed a business name.\u00a0 I\u00a0asked my husband for his advice.\u00a0 He suggested that, since, where we live was once called Hope Hollow I should consider starting with that.\u00a0 I then decided on Creations, hence, Hope Hollow Creations.<\/p>\n
There is nothing more fulfilling than doing what I love and peoples appreciation of\u00a0my work.<\/p>\n
I hope you enjoy my\u00a0creations as much as I have enjoyed making them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
