The Artist

Island Glass of Wine is located on the Florida West Coast. Artist Carol Chilson, lived in the "Fabulous Florida Keys" for more than 20 years. Much of the artwork shown here depicts the enormous diversity of the beauty, color, and wildlife (both above and below the water) of these beautiful islands.

Carol Chilson, formerly a watercolor artist, is an accomplished stained glass artist and has been for the past 25+ years. The combination of her love for scuba diving and saltwater fishing has enabled her to capture the beauty of nature and turn it into beautiful and realistic artwork. Her work has been commissioned in both the United States and abroad. Carol and her husband John initially worked solely in the traditional stained glass field, as the owner/artist's of AmeriCaribbean Stained Glass etc., Inc. (the largest retail stained glass gallery in the Florida Keys). She has since broadened her horizons with Island Glass of Wine, and has added fused glass to her many talents. One of the latest and most popular additions to her fused glass line is the "Wine Time Clock". Not only is it a great conversation piece, it is also a fun and functional work of art.

Please peruse our website gallery. Here you will find many traditional stained and fused glass items that are sure to strike your fancy - a picture frame, tropical fish, designer tabletop item, hand painted glassware, or an original piece of window art.

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:

In general, life has been very good to me.. However, there have been many setbacks. I lost my husband and I have survived two bouts with cancer. I am very lucky to say, my family has been by my side and helped my get through this. Times I like to think of as in my past now. I am very lucky to have someone special in my life again! You can call me a has-been, however you cannot call me a never-was. "Been There, Done That"!
