Glass Artist, Susan Welteroth, has been designing
and working in glass for over 20 years. Through her business, Eyecatchers
Glass, she creates glass panels and small gift items in fused and stained
glass. She adds traditional vitreous painting, sandblasting, and casting
for special effects to enhance the work.
Wildlife has become the main focus of her art.
She first became interested in waterfowl and fish through her clients here
in Tidewater Virginia; many of whom want those subjects in their glass panels.
It has become very interesting and challenging to depict the birds and fish
in glass in a realistic way. In striving to be original, Welteroth often
moves beyond the flat rectangular panel to an irregular edge and incorporates
3-dimensional areas within the design. When showing her work at local
shops and art shows, she often has to do some mass production, but she prefers
working on individual commissioned pieces that add beauty and joy to those
who see and own the work.
