In her new series In Plain Air, Brown Swanson explores our ecosystems and fragile environments in multiple layers of glass art. She hopes the transformative nature of trees, plants, and the light around them will soothe and inspire viewers.

The pieces in the series are currently on display at Jester Park Nature Center in Granger Iowa, the Mary Rose Collective in Perry, Iowa, and some trial pieces are at Octagon Center for the Arts in Ames, Iowa.
