Me Kim Design Studio State College- based Fused Glass Artist. Creating a piece of kiln formed glass is a delicate exercise in patience and excitement. I hope you enjoy my work!

My name is Kimberly Brooks Filkins and I was born and raised in State College. My husband, Gary and my son, Chas continue to support me. I’ve had no formal training in art, but have dabbled in many mediums. I was even contracted to do window displays in local stores. As I grew as an individual, I gained a perspective that led me to realize that I wanted to make art more a part of my life and found

the simplicity, beauty and functionality of glass as my canvas. Creating a piece of kiln formed glass is a delicate exercise in patience and excitement and continually places me on the edge of success and failure. In an instant, the heat of the kiln can literally shatter the painstaking effort of cutting and the elements of a piece. Conversely, the work can emerge ready for the next firing or as a finished piece. Given the variables of the process, I view each work as an expression of my love for glass. Ultimately, success is the creation of a work infused with my identity yet with a persona of its own. My hope is that each piece invites you to want to get to know the work just as you might want to get to know me.

Keep the doctor away AND the boredom by eating an apple today and seeing how many artworks with apples you can find in our collection (hint: there's a lot).

Just don't eat your apple in the galleries!
