My multidisciplinary explorations in painting, assemblage and glass are coming togetherin a new  sculptural approach to working beyond the traditions of studio (hot) glass and beyond the traditions of glass as a functional craft. 

The central material to my work is found, “orphaned” glass. Glass that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Sheets of glass removed from discarded picture frames, glass dishes discarded to the thrift store or a garage sale because they are unmatched and unwanted. I choose these “orphans” intuitively not knowing if, when or how I will use them.  Initially the only conscious choice I made was to choose clear glass with its subtle, oxide-induced greens and blues, but as the work progresses the aspect of more expressive color is coming into play.
  
Like my adoption process, composing is an intuitive process of discovery. I manipulate and assemble these “orphans” until they become new forms or “families”.  These forms, once composed, often include additional found objects, materials or paint which is intended to layer the viewers interpretation, but quite often these resulting forms can indirectly reference monuments, architecture, totems, trophies, shrines, reliquaries, and sometimes just beautiful forms. 

It is my intention for these artworks to give new purpose and new meaning to the debris of our civilization

This Saatchi site is linked with : https://www.schriebersmith.com Schrieber-Smith is a multidisciplinary artist whose processes have evolved full-circle from glass, to mixed media assemblage, to painting, and now back to glass. Schrieber-Smith produces work in themed series such as the Paper-Doll series, the Neo-Mythology Series, the Working Women of the World series, the Glass Menagerie Series, the Glasscape Series and most recently the Animal Tales Series. The Glass Menagerie series began in May 2013, when she married her assemblage, painting and glass skills resulting in a whole new sculptural direction with open-ended imagery and mystery. The Animal Tales series couples her love of animals with her love of stories. Once again repurposing materials…this time books. The books are chosen to compliment the animal portrait. The portraits are a combination of glass painting and reverse painting on glass. The books are manipulated and adorned to compliment the painting which becomes affixed to the book. It is her intention for the artworks from both the Glass Menagerie Series and the Animal Tales Series to give new purpose and new meaning to the debris of our civilization. When not in the studio or in the classroom, Schrieber-Smith explores the world. Her extensive travel experiences in Europe, South America and Asia are an ongoing influence in both her artwork and her teaching. In 2016, Schrieber-Smith was honored by her Alma Mater with an induction into the Fine Arts Hall of Fame. Schrieber-Smith has works are in public and private collections both nationally and internationally. http://saatchiart.com/schrieber-smith http://www.schriebersmith.com
