Creative process and form awareness is always at the forefront of Lucie’s narrative work focus. The glass pieces she creates surprise viewers by the great attention to detail and meticulous execution. Inspiration for her work comes from fairy tales and folk art. Coming from an animation background, she tells a story with a sense of humor and lightness of spirit.

Murrine glassworking technique: The colored glass is melted and layered to create an image. When the process is finished the whole design is heated and pulled into a bar. The cooled bar is cut cross-section to reveal the image.
