awareness post - anna guarneri

Anna Guarneri is an artist based in Philadelphia who has a BA in cultural history from UPenn and studied art at Gage Academy of Art and California College of the Arts. She works in stained glass often, and I find myself really enjoying the color schemes she uses -- I think they could be really good inspo for me as I seek to diversify the color schemes in my own work! Her compositions don't always fit into what I'd like my work to look like -- hers tend to be more regular/geometric whereas I try for a lot of rhythm and visual weight -- but I do think certain elements of her work could prove to be helpful to me in the future.

I love the color scheme used in this work, and the combination of very dark blues with very bright oranges and airy whites. I also think the way she displays her works could potentially* work for me if I ever made a piece with a flatter bottom edge, although I gravitate towards more irregular shapes.

Again with this piece, I really enjoy the colors. Moreso, though, the choice of very textured or vareigated glass pieces is something I'd like to focus on in the future. She also uses something called lead came on the outer rim of her pieces to provide more structural support, which would be good to look into.
