From an early age, Viola St. Pierre knew she would become an artist. Surrounded by the East Coasts' abundant museums and architecture instilled her with inspiration. Working with various mediums it was not until the early 80's that she focused on glass. It quickly became a passion as Viola began to weave spirit, glass, and light into visionary art.
Today, Viola's award-winning glass rooms and windows have won local and national recognition in magazines, newspapers, and on television. Viola has also served the community as a member of the Commission for the Arts for the City of Encinitas. During her tenure, she founded and curated the Encinitas Student Art Gallery exhibiting local and international works of art. Viola is a member of the San Diego Glass Guild and displays her work in galleries, homes, and businesses throughout the country.
Viola is a graduate of Rhode Island College with degrees in Art Education and Liberal Arts. She resides in San Diego, California with her two children.
