Night Vision Withered Dahlia
Cast glass and oil painting on wood board 9 by12 inches Last summer instead of having vegetables I grew Dahlia’s. I began to compile a photographic diary of their life cycle. Shapes as well as shades of color change as time passes, so very similar to us. The Japanese believe in what they call “Wabi…
Dusk Landscape Walden Pond
Cast Glass and oil painting on wood board. 11 by 14 Inches During hikes at Walden Pond I witnessed many beautiful natural scenes. It is amazing how such scenes take place as one can hear the faint noise of cars nearby. For a brief moment at dusk I saw a lone small bird flying over…
“Night Vision Dahlia” Debbie Tarsitano
Cast Glass Dahlia on oil painted Canvas covered wood board 48 by 36 inches Last summer I photographed my garden at night using my camera’s night vision setting. A white Dahlia’s came alive.

No More Hurting People
Cast glass on canvas covered wood board 48 by 36 inches Made in memory of Martin Richards, the young boy killed in the Boston Marathon bombings. His favorite saying was, “No more hurting people.” There is a photo of him at school holding up a sign he made with those very words that would come…

2007 Into the Void
Oil painting with flameworked elements 18 by 24 inches “Into the Void” is a conversation about transformation. Oil painted birds slowly transform into glass birds as they enter a vortex of color. In the end they come out a mixture of oil paint and glass. This work represents the transformation of my own work, from…
