Melody Topping

Melody Topping began her career as an artist at an early age. Born in California, she was greatly influenced by the many dimensions of the California environment. This environment was rich with combinations of color and form in the varied landscapes and seascapes of Southern California. These elements have inspired her with passion to replicate this beauty in her art work pieces.

She has studied with leading artists in glass, painting, and sculpture nationally. Each of these experiences have encouraged her to develop her own unique talent. She strives to create an interplay of wind, earth and water within each piece of sculpture. Her creative expression in glass brings forth beauty, harmony and timelessness in glass form.

Since antiquity glass has been valued as a precious commodity and collected for its beauty. Melody has been able to capture this beauty and the unique properties that comprise the materials within the glass. Through her thoughtful planning and intuitive sense of the glass itself, she brings forth life, fluidity and movement to each unique piece. Each handcrafted design is an alchemy of energies honoring the essence of the glass itself.

She and her husband live in Southern California where she also has her studio.
