Note from Kenn Holsten

Greetings! I hope this finds you well. I’m excited to share with you some great works by some of my favorite glass artists.

Featured Works

 


Dinosaur by Lino Tagliapietra, 45.75 x 23.5 x 7.25″

 

Dinosaur
by Lino Tagliapietra

Perhaps the best known series of Maestro Lino Tagliapietra’s work is his Dinosaur pieces. This is a particularly beautiful example of this series with its wonderful lines and colors.

 

 
Chesapeake Cloud

by Nancy Callan

One of Seattle glassblower Nancy Callan’s best known series is her Cloud pieces. I love the playful, flowing form of this piece and the combination of colors.

Embrace by Latchezar Boyadjiev, 4 x 14 x 21″

 

Embrace
by Latchezar Boyadjiev

California artist Latchezar Boyadjiev typically creates large scale cast pieces which are often figurative or at the least suggest the human figure. This is a particularly strong example of that style.

 

 

Intersected Orb
by John Kiley

Seattle glass artist John Kiley is well known for his blown pieces with flowing lines and exquisite colors. This piece is a great example..

Sonnet by Martin Rosol
, 5 x 13 x 14″

 

Sonnet
by Martin Rosol

Maine glass artist Martin Rosol is well known for his cast class sculptures. I’m proud to say that I have represented Martin for several decades and he is one of my favorite artists. This new piece entitled Sonnet is particularly elegant

 

 

 

I’ve enjoyed sharing this beautiful work with you and hope it has lifted your day. I look forward to hearing from you with any questions or comments you might have.
