April Artist of the Month Rita Cutler

As an artist, I love to repurpose various objects and give them new life. This love led me to create Whiskey Bottle Art 20 years ago. My glass-on glass mosaics, made of recycled glass with old windows as the canvas, create a new history while bringing forward the old. My inspiration comes from color and texture with an eye toward a bit of magic. As the light changes throughout the day, so do my pieces. They each make a bold statement in bright light, becoming more subtle as the light begins to fade. The goal of my work is to brighten homes and make people smile. I have lived in Mathews County with my husband, Page, since 1996. Prior to making windows, I was a rug hooker, designing and creating hand crafted hooked rugs.
