The Deer Isle Artists Association is pleased to announce the next Winter Artist-in-Residence Program with glass artist Jean Gresham, which begins February 3. Jean transforms glass into all shapes and sizes, from one-of-a-kind jewelry and functional pieces to elegant wall art and home decor. Much of her work is inspired by her love of this island - its woods, shoreline and surrounding waters.
Jean will host an artist talk and exhibition of her work on Friday, February 28, from 3-5:00pm. All are invited! Jean's work can also be viewed at jgreshamdesign.com and on Instagram & Facebook @jgreshamdesign.
