Artists Describing Their Art:

Lawrence Tuber - My Newest work involves blowing a multi layered blank on which I carve intricate decoration. I am using images ideas that I have been drawing since childhood. I am from Mars. I also make multi-vessel sculptures using blown and optical glass components creating families of vessels. I have been a vessel maker for 30 years. heck out my Etsy site at

R H Jannini Iv - One of the most interesting things I have learned is that the more I seek to create things that interest me, the more there is to choose from. As such and in life the importance is "focus" - as a compromise of strict focus but in support of my personal desire to design, create and capture the essence of moments and perspective I have allowed myself the opportunity of sharing another side of what I term "my creativity". My focus is cold working large glass castings into faceted sculpture that interacts with light by leveraging air inclusions and stratified layers of transparent or opaque cords. Each piece I cut leverages the unique characteristics of each casting and allows the viewers perspective to change the composition of the each piece. Only a few pieces can be made from each casting, which can be purchased together as described in my "dallo stesso" series.

While in this piece the metal plays a supporting role, more complicated forms like the bubbly "Cocoon"-series shape the glass with a cage made of iron threads. The glass is frozen just when it is starting to expand, displaying the restricting forces of metal. ...

Goksen Parlatan - As an artist, mosaic is a very practical way to express my thoughts, feelings and ideas even my hope. Working with the old techniques and giving innovation with creativity makes me happy in this area. Meanwhile mosaic always takes time and it gives me growth and strenght. Sometimes the work wears a different cloth than the first thought of it. So amazement and fun is always there. ...

Luise Andersen - Luise'Mignon' Andersen Luise'Mignon' Andersen has only recently begun to reveal her lifes work. Soon after her debut she exploded onto the mainstream art world. Her breathtaking pieces have captured international interest. The stories Luise'Mignon' is telling through her truly deep, layered works seem to decipher the past and foretell the future, perhaps sharing her window to other dimensions and a seventh sense. Her detailed acrylic'Mignon' series speaks to the beholder. They inspire raw emotion and ignite ones imagination.
