Wendy Blevins
Wendy, artist of Little Fly Studios, is an animal lover and a mother of four, has engaged with a variety of art forms since childhood, including theater arts, visual art, jewelry making, sculpture and stained glass. All along the way as my passion for the arts grew and developed so did my passion for teaching and sharing the wonders I was finding with others. Some of my fondest memories are of observing one of my greatest inspirations: my grandfather, a portrait artist, as he painted. Following his lead, I discovered a passion and talent for portrait painting and have been studying and developing skills and techniques to capture the inner light and spirit of the moment.
Blevins' fine art fused glass practice developed in parallel, evolving from roots in stained glass and jewelry making to advanced kiln-fused and torch-fired methods for manipulating hot glass. As she remains exploring this ancient medium and its infinite modern applications she continues to experience both literal and metaphoric expressions.
