Meet the Artist (Jeweliyana Reece)

I've explored many art forms over the years. Pottery, batik, painting, interior decorating. When I found glass I thought it would be my forever medium but the universe had other plans. Plates evolved into paintings. Each stroke, cut and fit like a puzzle made of glass then painted with frit (glass particles the size of sand) Little did I know this was just leading me back to painting.

The more I painted with glass, the more I wanted to paint on canvas. You can't mix glass to get colors like with paint and the calling of those yummy texturing mediums was just too loud to ignore. As of 2024 I am still teaching glass classes and do the odd commission in glass but the majority of my time is spent painting now.

When I studied interior decorating, complimentary patterns (my fave) were hard to come by. Add years of working in the promotional products industry, some new technology and here we are. From images of my art I create patterns that often look nothing like their origins. Perfect for home decor, lifestyle and fun fashion accessories adding a touch of colorful, joyful art.
