Josephina Espinosa

Being the daughter of an artist it was easy for Josephina to become interested in visual arts from an early age.  She was born in Cali, Colombia, South America.  She attended the School of Bellas Artes in Cartagena, Colombia and received a Bachelors Degree with high honors.  After getting married and moving to the United States, she settled down to raise her two children.  Later when her kids matured she became interested in glass as an artistic medium using mostly bright colors that relates to the tropical environment from her native land.  She has made dozens of one-o-a-kind stained glass panels and windows.  At the present time she is teaching in the Visual Arts Center in Venice, Florida.

In the 1980’s she became fascinated with fusion glass.  Exited by the artistic possibilities of this medium, she is now using these techniques full-time; always taking forms from nature, bright colors and letting the subconscious mind lead the way.

Her works have been exhibited in Southwest Florida and in private collections all over the world.

Other than stained and fusion glass she has studied flower design, china painting and landscape design.
