LISABETH STERLING

With a background in drawing and painting on two-dimensional surfaces, Lisabeth Sterling has spent more than 25 years engraving transparent blown cameo vessels, and her wall pieces may include engraved copper. The effect is much like graphite on paper but with the luminosity of glass.
