About Annette Elya. …

I am a Shelby Township, Michigan artist and have been creating art since a young age. Glass art is my fulltime passion, and I am having a wonderful time following my dream. My art is an exploration of color and imagination. My style is constantly changing and evolving depending on what inspires me at the time. Color is a constant in all of my glass designs. It sets the mood, defines the relationship between the various glass shapes and creates a theme. One minute I may be inspired to create a stately crystal glass design then the next I'll create a more whimsical fun piece. Using special unique glass forbids me from ever creating the same design over again. I am constantly challenged to explore new ways to assemble glass. I never know what I am going to create next.

My art evokes thought or emotion to those who see it. As an artist my inspiration may come in a shade of pink, a rooster crowing or a vintage tea set but whatever it is... I will capture it so my customers can happily display it in their garden with a smile!
