Melissa Ayotte
For Melissa, glass initially served as a refuge from her day to day psychology career, but she soon realized she had found her true interest. In 2000, she spent time assisting at Paul Stankard’s Studio and began full-time at Ayotte Glass Studio where she continues to create glass art. Melissa aims to push the limits of the paperweight, creating novel pieces that reflect her sense of the Nature- – earthly, human, and divine.
