Linda Shull
Artist's Statement
Linda Shull has a lifelong love of jewelry and design. Her fascination
with jewelry started at the age of two when she started her collection.
Her passion grew and inspired her to explore the art of metalsmithing
for jewelry. Her fascination and skill with fusing glass then led her
to combine the two media into the work she now creates.
Linda's work incorporates her own handmade fused dichroic art glass with
sterling silver in whimsical and fun patterns. She uses the kinetic
qualities of dichroic glass to create depth, movement and intensity.
Each glass piece is unique because Linda continuously experiments with
her medium, adding metals and crushed glass to her kiln-fired pieces.
She has developed a special technique in assembling the glass for
fusing.
Over the years her jewelry has been showcased internationally in art
galleries and museum stores. Linda wants her jewelry to give people joy and amusement in their daily
lives. The unique creativity she expresses through her glass is sure to
bring smiles to both the wearer of her pieces and the casual observer.
