| Masai by Lino TagliapietraAlthough Lino Tagliapietra is known mostly for his unique pedestal type sculptures, for many years he has also created beautiful wall installations. Perhaps the best known series of these are the “Masai” installations. Inspired by the colorful shields of the Masai warriors, these installations are an important part of the maestro’s overall work. Lino’s “Masai” featured here has all of the elements for which the artist is known: rich colors, masterful cane work and surface cutting. elegant forms. |

Evening Moonlight This is a wonderful new example of Jon Kuhn’s iconic cube series. As always, Kuhn combines impeccable craftsmanship with aesthetic brilliance. In person, this piece is even more dazzling. A video clip is available upon request. |

Blue Tint Wren with Dogwood Red Core Here is a wonderful piece from a new series by Richard Jolley. “Blue Tint Wren” is at once alluring and whimsical, masterful and playful. This piece puts a smile on my face. |

Torso VII by Latchezar BoyadjievThis abstract figurative glass sculpture by California artist Lathezar Boyadjiev is flowing and elegant. I love the gentle curving lines and also the use of negative space which makes the piece all the more compelling.

Lemon Giverny Dusk Both the form and the incredibly pleasing color palette of this Stephen Rolfe Powell sculpture are spot on. I particularly like the way the color fades from top to middle and then intensifies again towards the bottom of the piece. |

| Thank you, as always, for taking a few moments to enjoy some great glass art. I hope you enjoy these mailings as much as I do creating them.
