Her 2010 Visiting Artist residency at Museum of Glass became the catalyst for Irish glass artist Róisín de Buitléar to develop CAUTION! Fragile. Irish Glass: Tradition in Transition. In a personal and profoundly inspirational exhibition and unlike anything previously explored at an American museum, this exhibition takes a deep look at the Irish glass industry and the impact of recent factory closures on artists, tradition and personal identity.
