"The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live." – Auguste Rodin

Angel Tear The Angel Tear series is certainly one of Lino Tagliapietra’s most iconic and recognizable forms. This new iteration of that classic Lino Tagliapietra shape is delightfully painterly and puts me in mind of some of the great color field abstract expressionist canvases. |

This new piece by Alex has a great presence. I love this particular shade of blue and the addition of the steel provides a sharp contrast to the translucency of the glass. The subtle veils in the glass add an element of mystery. |

Crosscut Halo This is a beautiful example of the glass sculpture of Seattle artist John Kiley. The palette of colors is spot on and the balance created by the negative space is masterful. |

Smaller than most of Santa Fe glass artist Harry Pollitt’s works, Captiva nonetheless makes a strong sculptural statement. Organic in its form like all of Pollitt’s pieces, this sculpture is lovely no matter what angle the viewer beholds it from. |

Thanks so much for taking a few moments to enjoy some of the most beautiful glass art being created in the world today. I look forward to keeping in touch. Kenn Holsten |
