#OglebayInstitute
We checked out the Oglebay Mansion! From an 1846 farmhouse to a model farm, it was transformed by visionary Earl W. Oglebay. Now a museum, you can explore the restored rooms and fascinating history.

One by one; piece by piece…it’s all coming together! I’m almost done with my mosaic and officially on the home stretch of my residency. I booked myself a spa day to celebrate and recharge. I’ve earned it! #ArtistInResidence #StifelFineArtsCenter #OglebayInstitute #mosaic #residentartist

“Welcome to the Stifel” 36”x36” Mosaic on 2” Cradled gessoboard. This is a big piece but the gessoboard is designed to carry the weight! #ArtistInResidence #StifelFineArtsCenter #OglebayInstitute #WestVirginiaArt #ArtInProgress

“The Ancient One” 12”x12” oil over acrylic.
Every time I looked at my design for The Ancient One, I kept visualizing flowers; especially daisies. #ArtistInResidence #StifelFineArtsCenter #OglebayInstitute #WestVirginiaArt #StainedGlassArt #stifel #skull

Busy day in the studio! Helped out with kids’ classes, got some painting in, planned my own upcoming sessions, and worked on a stained glass project

“Eye of the Dragon” - Stained Glass It’s bit of a hot mess, but I’m so happy to have completed it. On to the next project in my art residency! #ArtistInResidence #StifelFineArtsCenter #OglebayInstitute #WestVirginiaArt #StainedGlassArt #ArtInProgress

“The Dragon’s Eye” has 155 pieces of stained glass, and I spent the entire day grinding each one. It’s much more physical than I thought it would be, but the progress feels real. Every single piece brings it closer to life.

Looks like a juicy gummy bear made of stained glass; but surprise! It’s a painting. 3D to 2D, back to looking 3D again. Tricky little illusion! #ArtistInResidence #StifelFineArtsCenter #OglebayInstitute #WestVirginiaArt #StainedGlassArt #ArtInProgress

Ellie Stanislav; fellow artist-in-residence, warrior in arms, soldier in battle, and sister in the nunnery; creates the most charming tiles and sculptures. Her little rams are just too cute. #ArtistInResidence #StifelFineArtsCenter #OglebayInstitute #WestVirginiaArt #StainedGlassArt #ArtInProgress
