Greetings! I hope that this message finds you and your loved ones well. Here in Santa Fe we have had a glorious fall season and temperatures are just starting to drop. This month I am featuring some great new and not so new works by several outstanding artists. I look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions or comments. |

Paul Schwieder grew up in Saskatchewan but has lived in Sweden for many years. His works are fluid, sensuous and organic. Paul says this about his work: "In sculpture, my goal is to create something alluring and magnetic, but also challenging. Can the viewer bring their own relationship with intimacy to the object in front of them?" Here are Paul’s latest two creations:

Bilbao This striking piece by Lino is from his well-known Bilbao series. Both the canework and the surface engraving remind us once again why Lino is known as the Maestro of contemporary glass art! |

Supernatural Wolf I was happy to come across this piece by Seattle based glass artist, Preston Singletary. As in all of Preston’s work, Supernatural Wolf is blown and sand carved. Unlike his typical pieces, however, is the fact that this is possibly the only sculpture I have seen by Preston which is entirely white. |

Just today I received this image of a new piece by Seattle glass artist Nancy Callan. I love the subtle, soft palette of this piece and its unique form. As always, Nancy’s cane work is masterful. |

Shifting & Dance These two outstanding cast glass pieces by California artist Latchezar Boyadjiev are so new that they were photographed just yesterday. I love the organic, fluid feeling of all of Latchezar’s work and find these two pieces particularly lovely. |
