Get to Know the Austin Artist:
Mary Orcutt is a stained glass artist based in Austin, Texas. Introduced to stained glass in high school by her Dad, a creative and active hobbyist, she was captivated by the stunning interaction of light with the varying colors and textures of glass. After several early projects, she put her artwork aside to attend college, work in the high-tech industry, and have a family. She resumed creating stained glass art in 2011, and has designed custom pieces for private collections across the U.S. Self-taught, she seeks to continually learn new techniques and sometimes incorporate non-glass materials into her unique works of art. Recently retired from the high-tech industry, she is focusing on her artwork, being inspired by nature, her imagination, and her world travels to create new designs.
