Featured Glass Artist Judy Seeger at Harbour View Gallery in Cape Coral, Florida

5789 Cape Harbour Dr. Suite 104

Cape Coral, Fl 33914

239-540-5789

The Harbour View Gallery at Cape Harbour is featuring glass artist, Judy Seeger in the month of January.  You are invited to meet the artist behind some of the most unique glass art in SW Florida on Tuesday, January 7th from 6-8pm.  The AAE Glass Art Studio has had the pleasure of working with Judy in the past and her fused glass art is beautiful and detailed. 

Judy was born in Nebraska.  She lived in Lincoln and pursued a degree in Interior Design and Apparel/Textile Design while working many jobs.  Judy met her husband and married at the age of 27.  In 1990, she graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska.  Judy and her husband moved to Dallas, Texas to pursue their dreams.  Judy acquired her first job in the Textile Science field there, while her husband went back to college for a medical degree.  She was recruited by several companies that took them to Ohio, Florida and California and allowed her to travel the world.  Finally, they happily returned to Fort Myers Beach, Florida where Judy was able to work full time on her art.   

Judy’s inspiration is primarily color; but also nature, water, fantasy and sea life.  Living on a barrier island next to the Gulf of Mexico and experiencing the consistently changing beaches and daily exposure to the foliage, gulf birds, fish and sea creatures keeps her constantly inspired.  She has a passion for contrast and combining abstract with real life.  Judy says, “Grouping and combining colors to make them stand out in creative and dramatic ways promotes excitement and brings beauty into the world.  The glitter and shine of glass as it catches and reflects light delights my eyes.  I hope it will bring you as much joy as it does me."

Please join us at the Harbour View Gallery for this memorable event!

Cape Coral, Florida Ranks 3rd for Best Hiring Outlook in 2014

 FORBES ARTICLE

The AAE Glass Art Studio calls Cape Coral, Florida home and it is great to see this city rank 3rd in the country with a projected 20% of employers expected to hire in 2014.  Cape Coral lead this list last year with 23% of businesses expected to hire in 2013 and the momentum is carrying into 2014 and beyond. 

Cape Coral, Florida has very close ties with the housing market and was nearly devastated when the housing bubble burst several years ago.  Local government was impacted by a sharp population decline due to the hosing market and has been fighting hard to get where they are now.  Lee county has done a great job recruiting businesses like Hertz to relocate their corporate offices to Lee county and there are more moves like this in the pipeline.  There are signs of increasing home values and more new build permits being issued.  The influx of restaurants, big box stores as well as small businesses taking advantage of one of the most beautiful places in the country, further supports the fact that people are looking to move to a prosperous area of the country.  Well this is it.

The AAE Glass Art Studio has the pleasure of hosting glass artists from around the world and we take pride in showing them all Cape Coral has to offer.  Tanya Veit's glass fusing classes have earned repeat visits from glass artists who like to combine learning with a vacation.  We have even spurred a couple home purchases.

You can read the blog post I wrote 365 days ago when Cape Coral was ranked #1 HERE.
