Tessa Qwartz

As a child Tessa already had a passion for drawing and painting. In her spare time she was frequently found at the local art academy and this for 12 years.

After an inactive period, as a result of her higher education, Tessa has picked up her passion for art again in 2020. The frequent puzzling during the lockdown inspired her to a quest to create works based on mosaic. First with materials available in the local hobby store, and not much later to cut her own glass pieces using special kiln glass in different sizes, colors and structures. She uses this to create a palette of glass pixels by combining various types of glass and melting them together in different layers in a glass kiln. This is called glassfusing, the oldest technique used in glass art.
