Informazioni

Dori Settles was born and grew up in southeastern Wisconsin. The arts were instilled early on with piano lessons and children’s art classes. In high school she enjoyed writing poetry and was on the Forensics and Debate teams. It was also during this time she first encountered American Sign Language, through the movie Children of a Lesser God. She was immediately drawn to the language, took classes and volunteered in a special needs classroom. Dori studied ASL and became a certified sign language interpreter.

Recreating Fleeting Moments in Glass

Dori look at objects and places around her for interesting textures, colors and design. In recent years, she has focused on the environment and storytelling.

Today, Dori finds much of her inspiration in the forest surrounding her home and studio in North Carolina. When she is not in the studio, she enjoys getting together with friends, exploring her new home state, building websites and volunteering in the community.
