Hélène Charette  

I am a glass artist from Ottawa, Ontario. 

I have been honing my craft for 30 years. My designs often come together in the process of creation, as the craft requires improvisational openness. My preferred colour pallets make use of vibrant reds, oranges, and greens, although each piece is uniquely designed in accordance with the glass. I believe that working with glass is far less about realistic representation than it is about precision, care, and most of all, the willingness to adapt, to work with the grooves of each sheet of glass as it demands.

other things about me 


When I am not doing stained glass...

I am planning my next trip, or being a tea enthusiast, foodie, or friend to those in my community. I love camping in the summer (with my kids!), meditation, walking along the beach (cheesy, but it's true!),  gardening...
