A journey
began years ago . . . one of curiosity which lead to knowledge:
That knowledge instilled desire which produced creation. The
journey has taken over 25 years, for the traveler, designer
Debbie McLelland. The result-years of working with clients
who were looking for “fundamentally different” art. Clients
with rare vision allowing any artist the unencumbered freedom
of self expression. This freedom led Debbie into a professional
career in graphic design after obtaining her degree in Fine
Arts where she studied drawing, pottery, watercolor and oil
painting, stained glass, sculpture, and jewelry making. Never
veering off her path, she continued taking classes at various
art institutes, craft centers, and private instruction in
the art of glass painting and bead making. She decided to
officially establish her fine art base back in 1981 when she
opened Ebb-Tide Creations Art Studio, a quest continued until
2003, when she began Fire Gems Studio. Always
creatively consumed, living in various parts of the world
like Puerto Rico, California, Louisiana, and Hawaii, she now
enjoys residing in the multi-cultural city of San Antonio,
Texas.
Today,
if you asked her about her art, life, or recent passions,
she would excitedly explain, “Fire Art.” For some time now,
her artistic enthusiasm has been consumed with what she calls,
her “Fire Art.” The majority of the artwork displayed on this
web site contains the use of either fire, heat, or
fusion. Whether Debbie is soldering together sheet
glass, bevels, or jewels, melting glass chunks or rods to
form beads, or fusing molten glass in her kilns, “Fire Art”
is always the result!
Join Debbie
as she takes you back to ancient beliefs and processes of
creation used long ago. Rediscover a primitive time of artisan
skills with contemporary adaptation. Enjoy the mystery and
magic of “Fire Art.”
