Retired veterinarian Peggy Shashy is an award-winning fused glass and jewelry artist whose work is inspired by her passion for birds and the natural beauty of the many forests in North and South America. She is using a modeling glass technique, crackle glass technique, and exploring glass paints in her current fusing projects. Through these intricate glass fusing techniques with glass powders and paints, her work celebrates wildlife and encourages others to explore the natural world. She joined two rock clubs after moving to the Pacific Northwest. She fell in love with the lapidary arts and makes her own cabochons from rocks she has collected. Her wire wrapped jewelry she creates reflects her deep love of nature and a bold exploration of artistic process. Peggy enjoys being an active member of the Garry Oak Gallery in Oak Harbor and participating in juried art competitions.
