Yvonne Stocklosa is a full time artist who although works mostly with glass, also combines various other materials, such as metals, with glass to constitute her work. Born and raised in buffalo, Stocklosa has many different degrees, including Interior Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, BS and MS in Architecture from The University of Buffalo, and also attended The Rochester Institute of Technology. Stocklosa considers herself more of an artisan than an artist due to the craftsmanship of her work. Whether it’s a room, building, window, jewelry, or a custom work, she thinks of herself as a designer of the object. Much of Stocklosa’s work can be found at many different art festivals in Buffalo.
