Glass Art

Glass Art is a world of its own.
There is no artistic medium that is like it in the world. You cannot take a painting and fuse it, blow it, form it or blast it. You can not take a pot made of clay and layer color and material and have it all be seen.

Glass Art stands in a world of its own and glass artists have only scratch the surface to what is possible. I look forward to the future of glass art but I fear it will one day reach a peak.
I hope the evolution of the medium will continue to bring great surprises.

Supernova

2005-12-11T21:13:00.000-06:00

Sometimes you have to sacrifice something you love greatly in order to fallow the path laid before you. Supernova was created in my last few days at Glass Art Design. The decision I made to leave was one of the easiest yet one of the more difficult decisions I have ever had to make. When someone provides an opportunity to be creative and pays you well for it, it seems to good to be true. However, there is more to life than what you love and how much money you make for it. It is my belief that an artist is more then the art they create.

Black Mountain

2005-11-30T17:25:00.000-06:00

"Black Mountain" tells a story of my life in Arizona. Its many images include; the eye of God overlooking my many mistakes and abuses, slate rock abundantly found in the area, heat and rain, a southwest compass, and of course the mountain. Black Mountain lies between Cave Creek and Carefree, Arizona. Some say it is actually two mountains joined together. One side is volcanic rock and the other is foothills of rock and dirt. The east side of the mountain is dark and ominous and the west is a smooth soft brown and green. The image of the mountain on the bottom of this piece was transcribed from a picture taken from the patio of my apartment: Making this piece especially important to me.

Moonlight

2005-11-29T17:23:00.000-06:00

Moonlight, the older sister of Sunburst, was the first piece I ever made. It’s colors are most important to me. Not necessarily for any sentimental reason as much as I just like them. That’s where it got it’s name after all. And without the colors and design of Moonlight, Sunburst would never have been created. I was working in a factory in Burnsville, Mn at the time the inspiration for this piece came about. Not to much positive can be said about the heavy production atmosphere other than practice, practice, practice.

This piece was made second in the series of Moonlight. The Mosaics and Column are symobols of building and aspiring to be. The first series I created was meant to be a foundation of a life long journey in glass art.
