InFused Artwork by Jeweliyana Reece

“Jeweliyana grew up in Calgary (as Patti Milner) She was always creating something. Concocting lotions 'n potions and culinary questionables like fried spaghetti (the uncooked kind) or building the town her brother drove his hot wheels around in. This natural creator tendency percolated and refined over the years.

At School she participated in a Special Ed. individualized art program where some of her teachers would barter with her for her finished assignment pieces. After graduation she entered the corporate world. The call to create, never far she continued exploring various mediums while working as a geological technician and later in the promotional advertising field.

When she was introduced to glass in 1994 her fate was sealed. Life and motherhood kept things on simmer though until 2010 when she opened InFused Glass Works and delved in to the study and practice of kiln forming glass.”
