Artist Statement:  As I immersed myself in the exploration of warm glass, my appreciation for color, light and the fluidity of glass has inspired me to create glass art for everyday life.  I hope to bring the passion and appreciation for hand made glass that I have acquired to all willing to bring art glass in to their lives.  Accentuating graphic design and color, my goal is to make each piece as unique as the person experiencing it!

Bio: Virginia Spalter moved from Michigan to Florida with her family in the early nineties.   Virginia's journey into the glass world began in the fall of 2004.   She created her company name "On The Virg Designs" in the fall of 2005.  Her work is now available across the Tampa Bay area in local galleries and boutiques.   She blends her love of color and style seamlessly into each piece to create unique works of glass.  Her ever evolving designs of contemporary bowls, sushi sets, platters, artful tablescapes and wonderful funky wearable art keep her work fresh and inspiring, setting her apart in the glass industry.
