Currently residing in Plainville, Connecticut,  Beata Trefon is a member of Art League of Plainville, Connecticut, Art League of New Britain, Connecticut, and Polish Society of Artists.

After studying ceramics and glass at the Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts, Beata began creating original pieces of art using various techniques and methods of processing glass in order to create her own style of work.

In regards to her style she says that – “Glass is a unique material. I am just the arranger of it and Light finishes the work.”  Her work is “a search of the contrasts between  light and darkness. It is an exploration  of the influence of color and form, helping to create mood and an expression of  spirit.”  She believes that “the light and twilight, the peace and power of color, and the softness and harshness of line” is pervasive in her work, further explaining that “light penetrates my paintings, light penetrates the glass, making each viewing a unigue experience.”
