I have known Czech artist Josef Marek for many decades but had lost touch with his work until he reached out to me recently. I am very happy to be representing him again! At first glance Marek’s work may look similar to that of other cast glass artists from Czech Republic, but as you look more carefully there is a depth and spatial quality that is unique. Here are a couple of his sculptures. |

Mazorca The Mazorcas were were one of the last series that William Morris worked on prior to his retirement in 2007. This series is inspired by Aztec and Mayan culture and artifacts. I recently ran across this outstanding example. |

Untitled Paul Schwieder is American born but has lived for many years in Sweden. I love the open, organic quality of this piece which he recently finished. |

Sunburst Alex recently finished this beautiful cast piece and I was excited when he offered for me to feature it in this newsletter. It is a somewhat unusual shape for Alex and such a dynamic shade of gold. |
