With a background in drawing and painting on two-dimensional surfaces, Lisabeth Sterling has spent more than 15 years engraving transparent blown cameo vessels.  Her wall pieces have evolved considerably in the past two years. The effect is much like graphite on paper but with the luminosity of glass.
