Yolanda Adra:
What Yolanda loves most about glass is its paradoxical qualities-it can be both strong and brittle, translucent and opaque, clear and colorful, and smooth and jagged. Glass best allows Yolanda to express her creativity because it can also be manipulated in so many different ways. Glass art reveals new aspects of the world by diverting our understanding of color and form from its previous course.

Yolanda Adra truly enjoys pleasing her viewers with her artwork and allowing one the opportunity to interact with her art in a personal manner. Both the artist's and the viewer's interpretations converge to create a truly unique experience for each piece. Yolanda liberally indulges her love of bright colors to create wall sculptures that each contain distinct combinations of colorful opalescent, iridescent, and dichroic glass. In addition, the fusing process gives each panel a unique texture. Each piece is fired at a kiln temperature of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit during a twelve-hour firing process.

Yolanda's work has been purchased by numerous private collectors and corporations across the US and internationally. These collections include Mercedes Benz, SunTrust Bank, Turning Stone Resort, Simon and Schuster Paramount Corporation, Boston Children's Hospital, Marriott Hotel, Exxon, Inc., Western Asset Management, and the Georgia World Congress Center.
