Shards of Splendor, an international online mixed media exhibition by Nancy Rindone-Doughney officially opens on April 1st, and continues for two months until June 1st, 2025.
Glass, fractured into a thousand glistening pieces, finds new life under the hands of Nancy Rindone-Doughney. In Shards of Splendor, each sliver, each meticulously placed fragment, weaves together into breathtaking compositions that blur the line between realism and mosaic. These are not mere works of art; they are symphonies of color and light, revealing the spirit of the creatures and landscapes they depict.
Nancy’s artistic journey began with the notion of “painting with glass”—a concept that ignited a passion for capturing lifelike imagery through an unconventional medium. Inspired by the majesty of eagles, tigers, lions, and the natural world, she transforms rigid shards of stained glass into fluid, dynamic forms. Her subjects are alive with movement, their piercing eyes filled with presence, their fur or feathers rendered in intricate layers of texture and light.
The magic of Nancy’s work lies in her unparalleled attention to detail. Each piece consists of thousands of precisely cut glass fragments, measured in mere millimeters, arranged with painstaking precision to evoke the rich depth of a painter’s brushstroke. The interplay between transparency and opacity, shadow and brilliance, allows her mosaics to shift with the changing light—creating a living, breathing quality to her compositions. Whether the golden mane of a lion catches the afternoon sun or the iridescence of a hummingbird’s wings glimmers in the morning glow, each piece tells a story that evolves as it is seen.
Beyond the beauty of her technique, Nancy’s work carries a deeper resonance. Her devotion to animals as subjects stems from a reverence for their strength, resilience, and symbolism. The regal bald eagle, a powerful emblem of freedom and determination, takes on a near-spiritual presence in her compositions. A tiger’s penetrating gaze reflects both quiet intensity and untamed energy. These creatures—captured in all their grandeur—become vessels of emotion and narrative, inviting viewers into a world where glass is more than a medium; it is a revelation.
Though her artistic career is relatively young, Nancy’s mosaics have already captivated audiences in over 20 exhibitions. Each of her works is a one-of-a-kind creation, a testament to her skill and dedication to a medium that demands patience and precision. Through Shards of Splendor, she unveils the boundless potential of glass—proving that, in the right hands, even the sharpest fragments can come together in radiant harmony.
