In her artwork, the vibrant colors, hues and shades of glass combined with the fluidity and flexibility of the medium, come together to provide limitless interpretation of the natural world through glass art. "I am intrigued by the process of blowing glass into linear and organic shapes," said Wagner. "Then I play with them in space. By turning, twisting, or repeating the shapes I investigate their relationship to floor, wall, or tabletop. In creating multiples and assembling the shapes together, almost like found objects, I create large scale pieces. I use color to push and pull the eye around or up and down the piece.

Ultimately the viewer must consider the fragility, strength, and beauty of this material." The EastEnd Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10am-5:30 pm and Sunday 12 pm-4 pm.
