Artist Bio - Rocio Bearer
Fine Art by Rocio
Glass artist Rocio Bearer studied
and trained in Venezuela, Colombia
and the United States to learn the
skills she uses today. After
receiving the honor of Featured
Artist at the prestigious Venezuela
School of Art - Candido Millan, she
has lectured and taught stained
glass, painting, fusing and
lampworking. Rocio is considered a
pioneer of modern art glass in her
native Venezuela and noted for
introducing a variety of new glass
techniques.
Rocio owned and operated a glass art studio / retail store in Valencia, Venezuela
for 13 years before she met her husband on a trip to the Untied States to buy
glass supplies. She moved to the United States in the year 2000 and opened a
studio in Cocoa, Florida. Among all things that she loves about glass, it is teaching
that motivates her to keep exploring new techniques. It is common to find her
taking pictures of flowers and drawing out rough sketches of her next creation. Her
love of nature and all of it's intricate creations is a great influence and inspiration
in her art. She really enjoys sharing her knowledge with other artists teaching
classes in her Florida studio as well as other studios throughout the United States
and South America.
