About The Artist: Marty Von Rosenstiel

Marty Von Rosenstiel is a visual artist who makes beautiful and intriguing creations from a variety of found, recycled and repurposed materials. Currently, her primary focus is on glass art, in particular the vibrant colors and patterns that can be created by fusing dichroic glass. However, her true artistic passions are driven by simply making a mess, having fun, and letting her imagination lead the way.

Her creations have included birds, fish, and bugs, and has also included a number of pieces made entirely from recycled glass. While not all of her work possesses universal appeal, individuals are drawn to her creations for many different and often personal reasons.

In her free time, Marty she shares her Victorian house and overgrown garden with her husband and two sons in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. She does her best to eliminate any downtime in her life with various art and community projects.
