Artist Bio
My name is Emily Reiss Coleman. I began using glass as an artistic medium in 1994. I have been making silver jewelry in 1991. I started taking art photographs since 1993. In 1999, I earned my BFA in Glass from Tyler School of Art of Temple University. I have done many things since then, including blowing glass at StaffordGlass in VA. I was extensively trained in stained glass at Beyer Studio, Inc. in Philadelphia and spent some time teaching high school art also in Philadelphia. I was a graphic designer, and currently specialize in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have worked with Castle Studio, Inc. in North Wales, PA and David Albert Stained Glass in Philadelphia. I currently have my own studio, and I'm loving my life! I have the chance to work for myself and my customers! I also currently work for the Philadelphia Department of Parks & Recreation as a Facility Supervisor.
My artistic inspiration comes from everything I see! Much of my artwork is inspired by the world around me. I am intrigued by the natural world and the geometry of everyday objects. I also enjoy creating useful items for the home, Judaica, and special occasion gift items.
