Her Majesty
Many of the cedars on the Cascade River hike are over 200 years old. They are awe inspiring and feel present in their stately peacefulness.

kilnworked glass on cradleboard
$1,485.00 SOLD
Bare Bones
A dry Spring always brings with it that fear of potential fires. Many concerned people spent hours toward the preventative measures suggested by trained “firewise” volunteers.
So with fire in the forefront of Sharon’s mind she recalled a camping trip in the Boundary Waters Wilderness and hiking a burn site just three months following a devastating fire. The rock structure laid bare was beautiful and tiny jackpines peeked out from the charcoal remains of their parent trees.

Stormy Sunset Over the Sawtooth
Watching a storm brewing over Lake Superior is amazing! Catching it during a sunset is absolutely spectacular!!!

kilnworked glass/w steel stand

Shen Cycle
Living in nature on the North Shore with her changing seasons directly effects an artist’s creativity. This rhythm from warm light or yang to cold dark or yin is the Shen Cycle in the Chinese healing system.

$3,250.00 or $695.00 each
Spring
(1 of 5 )
Wood/Spring feeds Fire/Summer which turns to Earth/Autumn and over time develops Metal/Late Fall and Water/Winter which is necessary for Spring growth. Spring is a time for increased energy and new ideas. Summer is a bursting with fullness which is then balanced and brought into fruition in Late Summer. In the Fall this energy turns inward to dream and in Winter those seeds created rest in contemplation.
Autumn Birches
Dark skies to the east with the low sun in the west catching the intensity of the late autumn sun on the tree tops. Hard to capture in a photo. This glass piece must be seen with the natural light streaming through it. It’s a stunner!!!
16″ X 11″
kilnworked glass/w steel stand
$1,050.00
Bridging
Bridging was inspired by a soft winter sunset out of Sharon’s studio window- looking across the open meadows bordered by forest. It is easy to imagine the deep roots of the trees under the snow burrowing deep underground and then the trees reaching to connect with the heavens through their trunks and outstretched limbs.
11″ X 24″
kilnworked glass/w black metal frame
$995.00
Cascade Cedar
There is nothing like walking along the Cascade River in the Spring during the snow and ice melt. The loud water carves out caverns and exposes the beautiful roots of the cedars and year after year they thrive .
12” X 12”
kilnworked glass on cradleboard
$765.00 SOLD
Inspired
Since beginning glass fusing in 2001 Sharon has explored and repeatedly attempted to capture the elusive northern lights in glass. This wall piece is a fun, more abstract version.
12” X 12”
kilnworked glass on painted cradleboard
$495.00
Inspired II
Always playing with new ways to portray the northern lights in glass. This piece is yet another, more abstract version.
12” X 12”
kilnworked glass/w silver wood frame
$765.00
Night Drive North
Remember when Highway 61 had narrow shoulders hugged by the trees? Deer jumped out so often that we spoke of “running the gauntlet”. The original ink drawing for this was done in 1981.
10 1/2” X 20 1/2”
kilnworked glass w/black metal frame
$850.00
Silent Night
The glass lends itself to the fractured transparent nature of ice in this moonlit Lake Superior icescape by Sharon. On this calm winter night it was so unbelievably quiet that all you could hear was the periodic cracking of the ice and the deep rhythmic ’boing’ of the water underneath.
30” X 20”
kilnworked glass on painted cradleboard
$1,095.00 SOLD
Northern Lights
On an active night you can hear their electricity and feel their vibration! The Northern Lights sing in our dark skies and on certain cold, crispy winter nights their magic actually reflects off of the sparkling snow.
13″ X 21 3/4″
kilnworked glass w/custom backlit steel powder coated stand
$1,550.00 SOLD
Meadow in Bloom
Meadow in Bloom is what Sharon sees mid-summer out of her studio window when the Devil’s Paintbrush cover the Frykmans’ fields in bright orange swaths. The piece is an experiment, layering cut pieces and granulated glass with multiple firings to create depth. Steve created the welded steel stand.
12″ X 6″
kilnworked glass
$650.00 SOLD
