Artisan Spotlight at the YAA Gallery featuring the glasswork of Mary Young
There will be an Artisan Spotlight show at the YAA Gallery featuring the glasswork of Mary Young. The show will be from March 26-April 8, 2016 at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery in Nye Beach. The gallery is open from 11-4 pm daily. Mary Young has been creating fused glass art for nine years. The constant surprises, playing with color, and making happy things are the best part of glass projects. The interest in glass started with her father, who bought a kiln to experiment with. It just took off from there: exploring, trying new techniques, and just playing around.
Mary has lived in Newport for nine years. She grew up in Seattle, WA and lived in Portland, OR. before moving to the beautiful Oregon Coast. She has been a member of the Yaquina Art Association since 2007. Right now she is currently involved in displaying all the 3-D art in the Yaquina Art Gallery, and has served as Treasurer for the past few years. It is very important to give back to a wonderful organization like YAA.
She enjoys her day job as a childcare provider and is a voracious reader. Under the name Whimsy Art Glass, Mary sells her glass work in the Newport Farmer’s Market, the Lincoln City Farmer’s Market, and the Lincoln County Fairgrounds Farmers Market. Her artwork can also be seen in the Sparks Gallery in Depoe Bay.
