Elaine Iodice hails from Massachusetts and came of age in historic Concord. Elaine's grandparents emigrated from Italy. Her grandfather worked as an accomplished stone mason, truck farming was the business on the other side of the family.

As a young girl, Elaine studied and performed dance and ballet with her two sisters. She graduated in 1969 from the Boston Conservatory with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, studying theater and dance. Due partly to an undistinguished performing arts career and partly to the youth movement of the late 60’s, Elaine found herself drawn to the Northwest. In 1980, she graduated from the University of Victoria with a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science. Her natural mathematical abilities coincided with the rise of the high tech and software industries.

Elaine spent the next seventeen years in California helping to make the computer the ubiquitous presence it is today. She and her husband returned to the Northwest in 1998, where she became aware of the Seattle Art Glass movement. Following a visit to Venice and the Island of Murano, she decided to learn more about the craft of creating art glass. Classes at the Pratt Fine Arts Center exposed her to the various techniques of glass work. Taken with its inspirational natural beauty and slower pace, Elaine moved from Bellevue to Camano Island in 2000. The following year Elaine finished building her fused glass studio and started her business, Deception Glass.

Elaine shows her kiln-worked glass in several Puget sound galleries. She has served as Vice President of the Camano Arts Association and President of the Stanwood/Camano Arts Guild. The Deception Glass studio is a popular stop on the annual Mother’s Day studio tour on Camano Island.
