Rose, a local artist, made her museum debut at the Gulf Coast Museum of Art in 2007 and returned to the Tampa Bay area after numerous successful shows in and outside of the US, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the art glass movement at the Museum of Fine Art in St. Petersburg where her 11’ sculpture gracing their front entrance.

 

For those not familiar with sandcast glass, it is a thousands-year-old metal casting technique that was only incorporated using glass in the past several decades.  2000 degree molten glass is sculpted to create these one of a kind works of art.  Marlene Rose is one of the few women in this very physical field which has been traditionally male dominated.  Her works being collected by both public and private museums, fine-art collectors and Hollywood A-list celebrities alike.
