On Sunday evening, in cooperation with Warren Norgaard’s Milkweed Studio, Arizona Glass Alliance will happily host a presentation by glass artist Kari Minnick. Kari is a multi-media artist who operates her own studio in southern Oregon. Originally trained as a painter, her background shines through in her very painterly fused glass creation.

Kari’s work has won several awards and is held by private, corporate and embassy collections. She has taught and many prestigious schools in both the US and abroad including Corning and Pittsburgh Glass Center and has been artist in residence at Pilchuck twice. Kari’s work was also included in the very well-known Corning Museum New Glass Review, 2025 edition.

Kari says this about her work: “I’m a maker of pictures and teller of stories. My art and life are a study of contrasts, order and chaos, thick and thin, questioning and acceptance. Using rich surfaces and layers of glass, I contrast fleshy realism with abstraction. Immediacy and restraint, delicacy and directness; I balance bold composition and nuanced line.”
