Mosaic, oil and watercolor artist

From my earliest memory I have been compelled to create. As a small child my aunt encouraged me and gave me my first art books. Later, I graduated with a degree in art from the University of North Texas and taught elementary art. While still teaching, I continued to study oil and watercolor painting. Additionally, I took classes in stained glass and instantly became hooked on working with glass. I taught stained glass classes for several years in Richardson, Texas while continuing my studies in oil and watercolor with local artists. In 1993 I moved to Kirkland where I taught in the Lake Washington School District until retiring in 2008. I returned to my love of working with glass and began creating mosaics. I enjoy all the steps in creating mosaics from the original designs to the finished “glass painting.” - Ginger Carter
