BIO

Doris Ross of Vitrifications’ fascination with glass became a serious creative pursuit in this millennium. Training under the guidance of Kari Minnick, Tim Tate and Erwin Timmers (Meltdown Glass Studio, Millennium Arts Center, Washington DC) soon led her to explore the frontiers of working in warm glass and enhance her journey on the glass horizon, including at the Kari Minnick Art Glass Studio in Silver Spring, MD. Studying with Judith Conway, Richard LaLonde, David Leatherbarrow and Kevin Toole at the Vitrum Studio in Beltsville, MD, and Nancy Weisser, Catherine Dunstan and Frank van den Ham at Weisser Glass Studio in Kensington, MD further enhanced her journey on the glass horizon.

Her work is often inspired by the glory and splendor of nature–its innumerable acts of random beauty. She likes to vitrify leaves in their eternal tumble between earth and sky, or work with metal inclusions, especially silver and gold leaf. She rejoices in the wonderful luminosity of glass and indulge in color—unabashedly… Working in fused glass is her favorite meditation.

Her work has found strong resonance, including in private collections and juried shows, and as a member since 2004, she shows regularly at the Art League, Torpedo Factory, Alexandria, VA.
