Biography:
My name is Mark Cappabianco, I am a retired Federal Employee, who at the age of 60 is now enjoying a part of my life that I feel I was always meant to do. Even though I have not had any formal training I have always been passionate about art, and at times would attempt to express myself through various mediums, but never finding one that I was completely at ease with. About 12 years ago I took a beginning stained glass class at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts in New Castle Pa, and I knew immediately that I loved working with glass. About 3 years ago I discovered fusing glass and after my first introductory class I was hooked.
As for my work, my pieces are not made from patterns or copied from other designs. I’m passionate about color, shape and design, and I pay particular attention to these elements. In order to maintain this sense of design and my own uniqueness, I personally perform all the aspects of the fusing process.
