For February we\u2019re asking Utah artists about a specific piece of art or artist, living or not, local or global, that has sparked their curiosity or influenced their work. We\u2019ll be running some of their responses throughout the month.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Glass<\/a>

\u201cA Weight on Me\u201d by Josanne Glass, 16\u201d x 20\u201d x 1.5\u201d Acrylic on cradled panel<\/p><\/div>\n

Following a successful 30-year career in the corporate world, Josanne Glass began her artistic life as a weaver on a manual floor loom. Now she is known for her use of strong colors in abstract painting. This may be as much due to heredity as choice, since Glass explains that she always has been drawn to \u201call things of Mexico\u201d where her mother was born and raised in the river city of Tampico.<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly after I was born in mid-winter in Bangor, Maine, we traveled to Mexico to get my ears pierced and get baptized \u2013 probably in that order. We spent our summers there, watched over by the same nanny who had watched over my mother,\u201d Glass recalls.<\/p>\n

\"Glass<\/a>\u201cAnd through this love of Mexico, I found Rufino Tamayo. His whimsy, his use of color, texture and surface quality is the way I now describe my own work.<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly after I started painting, my husband found a book of his work I had wanted that was long since out of print, having been published in 1982. I pulled this book out,\u201d she says \u201cto re-look at his work in preparation for my response to you. I was surprised by the similarity in colors and textures of the cover painting to a painting I did last month,\u201d Glass observes. The recent work, she says, was inspired by events she is undergoing with her mother.<\/p>\n
