Norwegian-American glass artist Brit Hammer paints with glass. Unique about Brit's work is her use of color, for which she has gained an international reputation. Working primarily with handmade glass from Venice and Murano, she artfully creates a mood using various combinations of color and texture as well as light reflectance. Each piece delights the eye and invites the viewer to interact by walking back and forth to catch the sparkles emanating. Lighting plays an integral role, and each work looks different during mornings, afternoons, and evenings as well as during each season of the year. In effect it is like having several artworks, such is the change affected by the light, which Brit Hammer masterfully employs.

 

In addition to art, Brit creates glass architectural installations using a wide range of techniques for public, commercial, and residential applications.
