Pat Musick is a Colorado Springs native rooted in the arts here through her painter father and ceramist mother. While studying early Irish manuscripts in England and Ireland, she was introduced to enameling—glass fused to metal at high heat. Her work incorporates layers of images and sometimes text, drawing on the inherent qualities of glass and metal and from letterforms and calligraphy, arts traditions, literature, the natural world and excursions into the backcountry. She lives and works in the home and studio her father built onto a sandstone boulder at the edge of the Garden of the Gods.
