Atlanta sculptor
"Lisa opened her studio to me and taught me the basics of glass casting and ever since I've been obsessed with the possibilities of glass in my practice. We were able to do the impossible quickly; managing to pull an almost perfect casting of my Atlantis Rising sculpture on the first try. Lisa's passionate approach is infectious and makes learning the complexities of glass easy and fun. Fused Light Studio is a haven for an otherwise inaccessible art form. I'm glad I was given an invitation to play."

"Working with Lisa was a wonderful experience on a personal and professional level. She is friendly, communicative, knowledgeable, and willing to help you find the best way to troubleshoot your project... I am so grateful we were able to figure out how to work together with my budget. I honestly give my highest recommendation to Fused Light Studio if you are looking to produce an idea in glass."

"I had always wanted to add glass sculptural elements to my projects when needed, and Lisa made that both possible and so fun. She is an incredible artist on her own who makes her wealth of glass and sculpture expertise and her entire well-appointed studio available for guest artists. ... My ongoing collaboration with Lisa and access to 3D glass casting has definitely elevated my studio practice."

"For the walls of the small house structures I was building, I wanted something substantial and elemental, so I looked for a glass artist. Lisa couldn’t have been more helpful, accommodating and encouraging, and her studio was a gold mine of a new way of accessing glass as a material. Fused Light Studio is a great addition to the Atlanta art scene–Lisa is exceptionally knowledgeable about her craft and loves a conceptual (and material) challenge."

"Lisa is a great teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable about working with glass and able to share that knowledge with all kinds of students, from undergraduates to university professors. Not only is her own work beautiful, students in her workshops get beautiful results."

"Fused Light Studio is by far the best equipped glass studio I have ever worked with, and Lisa has been very helpful in helping me work out my ideas for the glass elements I want to fabricate. She has shown me numerous possibilities for me to explore, and I look forward to working with her again soon."
