Artist Spotlight: Carolyn Demers

Now here's a NH artist who is making things happen and keeping the dream alive! Meet Bradford, NH artist Carolyn Demers (or at least a samplin' of her work). Carolyn prides herself on using a lot of salvaged materials in her work, which is all one-of-a-kind.

There is a super collection of Carolyn's glass art featured in the Veggie Art Girl Boutique. From handcrafted windchimes to mosaic stepping stones to large stained glass pieces, her work is vibrant and shines beautifully in the sunlight.

This mosaic table is handcrafted from antique plates and dishes. What a great conversation piece! If you have an old set of antique dishes that are special to you but you just don't, Carolyn can create a special piece of art or furniture for you!

A lot of Carolyn's stained glass pieces are modeled after Victorian style window designs. We feature a wide variety of sizes and colors here at the boutique to spruce up any window!

Darling windchimes and small stained glass window hangings always make a great gift! Carolyn just completed a batch of windchimes which includes this beautiful dragonfly design!

Here are a few of Carolyn's larger pieces. The stained glass on the left features an old bottle in the middle of the design that she dug up from her backyard! (Probably an old medicine bottle from the 1800's). The sunflower glass design on the right shines brightly with it's gorgeous color palette!
And here is a samplin' of Carolyn's unique stepping stones. Pricing for the stones start at just $10.00 and add that special touch to any garden. If you have an idea for a design that you would like to create, there are also mosaic kit supplies available at the boutique. Stop in to check it all out!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Carolyn for years; she was the one who first inspired me to create my own mosaic projects back in the late 90's when we met at a craft fair in Lincoln, NH. Now that her and I have both opened our own shops, we have reconnected and are selling each other creative wares in our shops. If you would like to check out Carolyn's shoppe and studio, go to http://stainedglass.vpweb.com/
Oh, and one last thing: mention that you read about Carolyn's work on the website and we'll take 10% OFF at the boutique for you AND throw in a FREE greeting card! What a great idea for a gift!
