Martha lives and works in Rockport, Texas. Her artwork ranges from mixed media sculpture and jewelry to painting and portrait drawing.
Martha has currently been painting in colored India ink to explore the beauty of the natural world. Her subjects have included birds, flowers and pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Martha collaborates with her husband Alan as Two Hearts Studio, where they create originally designed jewelry together. Alan hand cuts and polishes precious and semiprecious stones and Martha sets them in silver. Martha also explores other metalsmithing techniques to create her unique jewelry.

Pat Conway

Art has been a life-long passion for Pat Conway, and has ranged from dance and music, to needlepoint, jewelry, and finally stained glass. In 2004, she opened her first studio located in Seabrook, Texas. Her inspiration comes from nature, abstracts, and contemporary designs. To her, it is as if she is painting in glass. She is always fascinated by the color of the glass and the movement of light, and by the way that it affects each piece. Pat's hope is that everyone enjoys her work as much as she has enjoyed creating each piece.

Pam Behrends Gouverne

Every one of Pam’s designs are made with love and attention to detail. She guarantees each one of her works of art.
Kathy Wagner
Kathy received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Buffalo. She and her husband, Rolf Wagner, a self taught artist, were introduced to Dichroic Glass by Diane Weiner in 2007 and fell in love with it immediately. Together they began experimenting in one of a kind jewelry pieces. Seeing the amazing results from firing the glass coated with multiple layers of sprayed metallic oxides, continues to fascinate Kathy, particularly as each individual work of art carries an array of unique color, shifting as the piece is angled. Kathy and Rolf eventually branched out in size, incorporating glass with wood, canvas and metal for wall art, and creating molds for slumped glass pieces. Their enjoyment has resulted in awards for their pieces in various juried exhibitions.
