Victor ChiariziaSerpenti.jpg (171177 bytes)

Chia_gondola.jpg (78000 bytes)Renowned for his use of vibrant colors and innovative designs, Victor's work reflects an exploration of sculptural forms and the use of ancient Venetian and modern glassblowing techniques. Fluid forms combined with spirited colors are his unique artistic signature.

 

 

Chiarizia's new "Alto" vases are colorful dramatic pieces priced at only $395. About 34 - 36 inches tall with a base of only 4 - 4.5 inches in diameter, these Alto vases are spectacular as a singular statement or as a set of three or more. Call for available colors.

Bob Kliszewski's BOBtanicals

We have brought back a friendly favorite! These colorful handblown pieces are a little bit whimsy, a little bit Dr. Seuss and a lot of color! Each is about 8 inches in diameter and from 8 to 15 inches tall.

Scott AmrheinElliptical oval Lumen 75.jpg (124948 bytes)

Amrhein created his hallmark "Lumen" bowls through a series of experiments. Each Lumen bowl has its own unique metallic organic pattern created as the metallic finish resists gravity when the hot glass slumps in the kiln. The absence of primary colors and the simplicity of design are the trademarks of the pieces. Scott utilizes his background in metal casting for the rim10   SOV166L.jpg (364671 bytes) treatment and has designed several bases made from wood and metal. More recently, he has used his skills and experience on colored and patterned glass with spectacular results!17   SOV40L.jpg (245795 bytes)Elliptical oval blue 28x9x12hi.jpg (74312 bytes)

          

 

 

Newy Fagan 
Fagan.jpg (48757 bytes)Newy is a well-known glass artist who loves horses. Could you guess? She teaches her techniques in a series of national seminars and is best known for her fused glass horses. These are popular gifts and colorful home accent pieces. We try to keep a good selection of colors on hand but they keep trotting out the door. Ponies $150 (about 7" tall at ears) and horses $175 (about 8" tall). Caution: many people buy one, then get addicted and return to get a herd.

 

 

 

 

Bernard Katz

Avelino in aurora 75.jpg (162808 bytes)We are very pleased and honored to display the beautiful pieces by Bernard Katz. HisBikeya in aurora 75.jpg (177995 bytes) long-standing reputation for exquisite blown glass makes his pieces popular with glass collectors. Katz's newest designs emphasize sensuous organic forms accented with wooden bases and wood-grain glass elements. Katz designs each piece with a skilled eye for the negative space as much as the colors, textures and flowing forms. When a customer from New York Shidoni in scarlet 75.jpg (190540 bytes)purchased a Shidoni sculpture she said, "The piece is very soothing to me and it somehow makes me relax every time I look at it. In these troubled times, it serves as a needed tranquilizer." We agree. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tim O'Niell

dory_dreamsVI.jpg (27037 bytes)    On the staff of the famed Pilchuck Glass School, O'Niell creates incredible sculptures of cast glass. "I'm interested in the interplay of metal and glass", he explains, "metal comprising the mold, containing the heat of creation; glass, once shaped by the metal, often relying on metal again in the form of a stand that supports the finished sculpture." O'Niell pieces are often sold within days of receipt so call  us for current availability.

Cheryl McNeill

 

006.jpg (187817 bytes)In 2007 Cheryl showed us some beautiful carved discs she had made to be displayed on004.jpg (86885 bytes) tabletop stands. Her colors, designs and details were fabulous so we suggested she try to create glass table tops. A year later, the result is beyond our expectations! Vibrant colors, muted shades, metallic hues, depth and textures of her carved table tops are showcased on handmade steel bases. Though her designs are unique, the heights of her tables are to widely-used standards so you will find her work practical as well as beautiful . . . and reasonably priced.008.jpg (88091 bytes)

“Color, movement and meticulous attention to detail are a vital part of my work,”  Robin explains. “As an award-winning glass artist, I am often asked about my intention. I strive to add beauty, balance and harmony to any environment.”  

And she does. Her fused glass pieces add enjoyment to the lives of those who own her work.MeditativeGarden_DivineRodDiptych_72dpi.jpg (94937 bytes)

Leon Applebaum

improv.jpg (11738 bytes)Lava bowl.jpg (841970 bytes)Applebaum has been able to incorporate the Swedish glass techniques with his ideas of using color spectrum and trapping air to create bubbles as design elements that continue to define his work. This very non-traditional approach allows for the exploitation of the transparent and reflective qualities of glass. “I enjoy exploring the visual dimensions of massive glass and reflective interiors, using transparent colors so that light passes through and brings out the pure beauty and essence of glass,” he explains.

Bandhu Menorah.jpg (55005 bytes)A true master of his art, Dunham literally "wrote the book". His books on the techniques of flameworking glass are the foundation for many glass artists' careers. His incredible spheres demonstrate the advanced techniques that Dunham has perfected that have earned him international fame in flameworked glass. Plus, he makes the coolest menorah!
