Hi, I'm Anne Marie Papineau and I own a private art studio in Litchfield, Connecticut. I am a visual artist with a BFA in printmaking and drawing. My focus was Etching and Stone Lithography. Fine line and subtle texture is the hallmark of my work, whether it be on paper, canvas, or glassware. I find I always work as a printmaker, layering color and texture to build up depth within the images. My gallery art is very intuitive. I have featured works in my Fine Art section.
Over time, the details of life in the Litchfield landscape have become a focal point of my glassware designs. Recently I have included the seashore in my inspiration as well. The work on these glasses has developed into a lovely line of fine gifts. Each pair comes with a gift card with washing instructions. These small works of art are meant to be used and enjoyed with your choice of drinks! You can find them in select fine gift shops and design galleries in New England.
Glassware can be purchased in person, delivered, or shipped to you.
The process begins with Lead-free Crystal glassware. I hand paint with an acid paste to etch the design. Then I paint color in up to a dozen layers with detailed images from nature and artistic themes. The glass is then heat set. Hand wash to ensure color and clarity. The etched surface holds the paint so it lasts.
Contact my studio through email or phone to find out what glassware I have readily available, or I can create a custom design just for you. Individual glasses priced from $68 to $88. Vases individually priced. Lower price point available when ordered in pairs or larger sets.
