ARTIST STATEMENT

Glass of all kinds and colors has fascinated me since childhood. I was very excited to learn the art of stained glass and found my way to kilnforming in 2001, and in 2005 I began teaching at the Eugene Glass School.

My love of the Oregon coast has influenced my work, and my love of cats led to my business name and the detail and whimsy you can see in my cat nightlights and wall art.

My website: suepurrdesigns.com is not set up for online sales, but you may call or email for information via the contact info on my website. I do accept credit card payments. My early and current work can be viewed on my website and includes dishes, nightlights, wind chimes, picture frames, jewelry and clocks. I also do custom orders from clients’ photos of their pets.

My work is currently on display at the following Oregon coast galleries: Touchstone Gallery in Yachats, Oceanic Arts Gallery in Newport, and Of Land and Sea Gallery in Florence.
