Featured Works
|

Angel Tear The Angel Tear series is one of the most dramatic and striking series by Maesto Lino Tagliapietra. Standing at 42", this is one of the tallest of Lino’s works, making it all the more spectacular. |
|
This is one of Alex’s most recent sculptures and one of my personal favorites. Here it is in front of a window in Alex’s studio. What an incredible shade of blue! . |

Clam White Seaform Set Here is a great example of Chihuly’s classic Seaform series. You can’t get much more Chihuly than this one! |
|
I have worked for many years with Washington based artist David Schwarz. I recently came across two pieces from an older series and liked them so much that I decided to feature them both. His glass sculptures are blown in clear and with color overlays. The cold work engraving creates illusions of space and perspective. . |

|
Magic Blues Toland Sand’s work has become more colorful and more dramatic in recent years. This piece from his Oloid series is no exception. This piece is only 12" wide and yet has a commanding presence. It comes with an illuminated and motorized base. |

Heike Brachlow is a German-born artist known for her striking sculptural works in cast glass. She studied at the University of Wolverhampton (BA, 2004) and the Royal College of Art in London, where she earned both her MA (2006) and PhD (2012).
