Arlyss Grosz retired in Colorado following a career in health care and higher education. While drawing, painting, and forming objects from various media had always been a hobby, it was not until retirement that Arlyss found the necessary time to concentrate on her preferred medium, glass.

Arlyss has studied with local, regional and national glass artists. She works in her home studio where she produces a wide variety of fused, kiln-formed and cast glass. Her work is characterized as eclectic and vibrant in color and often includes 3-D. Her inspiration for the village pieces came from the fiord country of Norway, and the laundry lines from Florida.
