Mary Milne Glass Art
Mary Milne, a glass artist, works in both stained glass and warm (kiln formed) glass producing them in her Springs studio. She has studied glass art at Pratt Institute and Urban Glass, both in Brooklyn, and has been actively involved in the medium for the past seven years, producing both landscapes and abstract designs. At Urban she studied under Erica Rosenfeld and most recently Roger Thomas. Her work is both two dimensional and sculpted.
Ms. Milne, a graduate of both the College of St. Elizabeth and the New York School for Interior Design, she resides and works in Springs, a peninsula in the Town of East Hampton NY. An avid gardener, she is influenced by the gardens, vistas and natural surroundings of Long Island's South Fork, particularly the shoreline and adjacent wetlands. Additionally, she is influenced by the great glass art masters Dale Chihuly and Louis Comfort Tiffany.
‘Color is one of the great properties of glass and is more intense in glass than any other material’ - Dale Chihuly
Color and clarity is what drew Mary to the medium. She uses the variety and intensity of colored glass to form her works.
Ms. Milne has produced numerous glass pieces. She has exhibited her work locally and at juried exhibitions at East End Arts in Riverhead. She lives with her husband David and has two grown children.
