The Hands

Behind the Art

Candice Parkhurst is a mixed-media artist based in Dickson, Tennessee, who finds beauty in the fragments. Through her business, Shattered Glass Studio, she transforms rigid materials into fluid, tactile works of art that explore the balance between destruction and reimagination.

Her work is defined by a bold integration of textures, blending the organic depth of watercolor with the reflective brilliance of shattered glass. By incorporating earthy elements like slate and geodes, Candice merges modern precision with hand-crafted artistry. Each piece serves as a vibrant reminder that even the broken can be reimagined into something extraordinary.

Key Media:

Mixed Media: Watercolor and shattered glass compositions.

Natural Elements: Glass, slate and crystalline geodes.

Technique: High-detail laser work and hand-layered glass.

At Shattered Glass, I specialize in the art of precision and light. My work is a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, transforming raw materials into personalized keepsakes and fine art.

Here is a breakdown of what I do:

Custom Laser Engraving: I use high-precision laser technology to etch intricate designs, logos, and personal messages onto a variety of surfaces. Whether it’s the rugged texture of slate, the organic warmth of wood cutting boards, or the elegance of glassware, I create durable, high-contrast pieces designed to last a lifetime.

Stained Glass Artistry: I craft unique stained glass pieces that play with light and color. From classic patterns to contemporary designs, each piece is hand-assembled to bring a vibrant, artistic touch to any space.

Photography: I capture the world through a lens, focusing on composition and detail. My photography often informs my physical art, serving as the inspiration for engravings and glasswork.

Bespoke Commissions: I thrive on collaboration. I work closely with clients to turn their visions into reality—whether that’s a custom-engraved gift for a special occasion or a one-of-a-kind stained glass installation.

In short, I take everyday materials—glass, stone, and wood—and elevate them into meaningful, custom-crafted art.
