Debra Arend

Debra grew up in Toledo Ohio, at the time it was the Glass Capital of the World, her father was a graphic artist at Libby Glassware in his 20’s, so there must be some kismet here.  She has always loved Glass Art and has sought out galleries to view while on travels throughout the world.  Her adventures in travel can be seen in many of the pieces she creates, recreating the essence of those adventures.  She considers it an honor to develop the artistic skills of melding art and science together to create wonderful pieces using Handmade Art Glass and Upcycled Glass.  She creates using mostly PNW handmade fused glass and some repurposed glass. Her Upcycled Sculptures appear to be fluid with water like texture and movement.

Continually learning from teachers near and far, gives her the opportunity to create a variety of art pieces for Home Decor, Yard Art, and Dynamic Serving-ware for everyday and entertainment use. Kevin DeLashmutt, Debra’s husband, joins in the joy of creating display stands using organic materials such as Driftwood, and Stone along with Metals in their design offerings.
