About Jenelle Lynn Kathan: Oregon Glass Artist, Jenelle Lynn Kathan specializes in functional and decorative custom designs that enhance any home or office. Jenelle's glass work features bowls, platters, plates, framed art, coasters, dichroic jewelry and unique glass gifts including magnets, ornaments, suncatchers and wind chimes.

As a self-taught artist, Jenelle Lynn Kathan, dabbling in woodworking and pottery, and found warm glass to be the most exciting and mysterious medium. Presently, her expertise and style border on discovery and humility. By understanding the technical complexities of glass, she is forming a natural curiosity of how glass reacts under varied stages of heat. Jenelle states, “For me it’s all about the process rather than the finished piece, a combination of texture and light that create depth and mystery. My art simply takes form through the process of opening my heart and allowing for the human experience.” High Desert Gallery & High Desert Frameworks! is honored to represent Jenelle Lynn Kathan exclusively in Central Oregon.
