Swirls Pendant

After earning her BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing (and a Studio Art minor), Dawn entered the workforce in Consumer-Packaged Goods as a market research analyst. Flash forward 17 years and an MBA later, she was doing rather well in business and in her career but always felt as though something was missing. On a whim, Dawn’s sister asked her to join her and their mom at an introductory lampworking class.

Since that class in 2006, Dawn has been refining her technique and learning the intricacies of working with glass. She attended more classes by leading artisans including: Cynthia Liebler Saari, Nancy Tobey, Lauri Copeland, and Joanne Conant. To enhance her glass work, Dawn learned metalsmithing with Pauline Warg and Joy Raskin. Her work has been featured in ‘1000 Jewelry Inspirations (Sandra Salamony 2011),’ ‘Creative Lampwork (Joan Gordon 2011),’ ‘Creating Glass Beads (Jeri L. Warhaftig 2011),’ and ‘1000 Beads (Kristina Logan 2014).’

Lombard’s work is currently exhibited at Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook, Connecticut.
