Margery
Pearl Gurnett of Pearl Glassworks is a nationally recognized
glass artist whose public and private commissions can
be found everywhere from ornaments for the White House
Christmas tree to major airports in the US and Canada.
She specializes in mosaics and sandblasted, etched,
painted architectural glass windows and panels.
About her window: "I wanted to do a window with
a strong graphic image, so I chose to do this in the
style of old silhouette cut-outs. I had the paint removed
from the oak window frames. A special clear glass with
a thin flashed layer of opaque black enamel was fired
on to the surface. The glass was masked and then certain
areas of glass were exposed and then sandblasted. The
title of this piece is "Family, Flora and Fauna".
The size of the frame is 50"x54 1⁄2".
The image reflects the closeness of the community as
family, flora signifying continual growth, and the deer
border illustrates literally, how the community is surrounded
by these native animals."
