About Nina Glaser-
International photographer Nina Glaser's photography career included teaching at the Academy of Art University, and the publication of two monograms: "Outside of Time" and "Recomposed". Nine years ago, Glaser decided she had completed the body of work she felt she was destined to do. Glaser's photography is both haunting and extraordinarily powerful. Her creative energy then shifted to creating her now thriving hypnotherapy business, Nina Glaser Hypnotherapy.
After a 9 year absence from the art world, Glaser is back taking her next step into the tactile world of glass mosaics; many contain imbedded images of her extraordinary black and white photography.
Nina Glaser Artist Statement-
I was a fine-arts photographer for 18 years. My work consisted of black and white images, which were stark and timeless. I left photography when I felt that I had used the medium enough to express and explore the themes that mattered to me. In my break from photography, I taught fine arts photography at a local university and printed for other photographers.
Even though my current daytime work is highly creative in thought and language, I missed the tactile experience of art. I have always loved glass, and have wanted to paint. Making glass mosaics lets me enjoy both. I use bright, colorful stained glass and apply it as if it were paint. My current body of work is narrative in nature; each image tells a story, while also inviting the viewer to participate and interpret. -Nina Glaser
About Michael Pargett-
Michael Pargett enjoys the paradox between the high energy that creates the illumination, and the slow, sensual movement of the gas mixtures that can be achieved to present a visual experience that is as compelling as it is hard to describe. His expressions are at times humorous and at other times inspired by a desire to honor the basic elements of the gasses themselves. During the filling portion of the creative process, he attempts to allow the gases themselves to express how they would like to manifest within the glass. They feel as though they have something to say, if I only knew how to listen consistently - Michael Pargett
