Fast Pitch with Josephine A. Geiger

Cracked with Chevonne Ariss

Trained as an architect, Josephine A. Geiger’s glass art is inspired by hidden depths in the landscape. These scenes are distilled into a bold palette of rectangles and squares of colored light as she translates a photo or sketch with an Impressionistic eye, capturing the essence of the subject. Josephine’s process is organically linear, adding, shifting, flipping, or removing glass elements until the visual puzzle is finally solved — often in surprising ways.
In addition to a steady stream of private commissions (even a chicken coop), Josephine's artwork is represented in various installations and public collections. Josephine also recently created and installed an original skylight on the Frank Lloyd Wright Lovness Estate in Minnesota. Her distinctive style has earned multiple awards and has been featured in both regional and national print publications, as well as TV episodes on TPT’s MN Original and INSP’s Handcrafted America.
Josephine’s instagram is @jageigerstudio and website is jageigerstudio.com.

From Josephine:
PotekGlass – The Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul area) had BOTH main stained glass supply locations close this year. Malcom Potek had been stepping into the fused glass retailer space the year before, but ended up hiring on the restoration specialist from one closed location and has started stocking stained glass supplies. He is also a fabulous artist and teacher.
