About Tanja
As a glass artist I use color as a way to express human feelings and emotions. Glass has the unique ability to transmit and reflect light. This creates a dynamic play of colors that can evoke a range of emotions in the viewer.
I explore the interplay between transparency and layering, layering colors to create depth and movement in my work. With my art I try to evoke an emotional response in the viewer.
I hope my work inspires a sense of wonder and contemplation, and fosters an appreciation for the beauty and power of glass.
