Mickey Ozolins, Glass Artist

Mickey designs and constructs her pieces  in her glass shop located in the San Juan mountains southeast of Pagosa Springs, Colorado.  Her passion is creating beauty using the science of hot glass flow.  She also combines her glass art with wood to unveil nature’s grace and movement.

Mickey immigrated from Hawaii to mainland USA, and eventually settled in Colorado in 2018. Her primary career was as a neuropsychologist in a hospital setting, while she concurrently developed as an artist. Her artistic interest moved from acrylics and pencil, to polymer clay and finally, fused glass and wood. She studied in both local and international workshops for 15 years.  Ozolins has sold her work in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado.

In her glass shop she cuts glass with both hand and power tools. Pieces of glass are cut, stacked and melted in up to 4 or more rounds in a large coffin kiln to create beautiful layered designs. No two pieces are alike but all reflect the intersection of art, science and nature.
