Art for the Soul, Inspired by the Sun

About Me

Welcome to Vidriosa Glassworks

Hola and Welcome to Myspace. Im JoAnna, a Glass Artist and Owner of Vidriosa Glassworks. About 3 years ago I decided to leave my engineering job and stay home with my family. Vidriosa Glassworks has grown in many ways since I first began making glass pieces and today is a great success, and it affords me the luxury of staying home with my children.

    Visit my website VIDRIOSA GLASSWORKS to view and purchase my Artwork Find My Work at ART SHOWS in Texas, Denver & New Mexico Visit my Profile at ART BY LA TINA ARTISTS Visit ARTEJANOS and join in the efforts to promote Latino Artisans Visit my ETSY Store Purchase Cool Items at CAFE PRESS

On a personal note, Im the mother of four very rambunctious kids and they are all under the age of 7 ! My soul mate and I have been together now for over 17 years and we are really enjoying life as a complete family of 6. Life in our home can be very busy, but there is always time for play and fun.

I am a Daughter, Sister, Friend, Confidant, Comadre, Crafter, Cook, Dog Lover, Chemical Engineer, Super-Multitasker and more

My life is blessed and I am very proud of my family, my culture and my dreams.
One of my biggest joys is creating pieces which have been inspired by your ideas - Challenge Me !
