Vanessa Fox Gruenwald

Glass/ Mixed Media Artist

 

Published writer and photographer, multi-media artist and educator for more than 30 years, Vanessa Fox of Suttons Bay, Michigan, incorporates found objects from nature, auto junkyards, and recycle centers to create one-of-a-kind art glass works that grace homes across the country. Antique automobile lenses and parts, rusty hardware and door knobs, as well as cast-offs from nature: driftwood and Petoskey stones are particular favorites.

I find my compulsion to create no different than my compulsion to eat and sleep.
I never know ahead of time what my end result will be. Each new piece let's me know when it's ready to be used and how. It's up to me to be patient and quiet enough to hear .
