Ian Sheldon - Light and sense of place are key elements that inspire Ian Sheldon to paint. His subject is consequently varied, from the open spaces of his native prairie land, to the abandoned buildings of pioneer homesteads in the North American west, or the dramatic architecture of the cities where he has lived. Ian was born in Edmonton in 1971, and was brought up in South Africa, Singapore and England. While studying for his first degree (BA Hons) at Cambridge University, England, Ian began to paint the historical architecture of the city. Since 1994 galleries have exhibited this work, and in 1998, Cambridge Contemporary Art, the city's leading commercial gallery, accepted his watercolours. The City of Oxford, sharing a similar architectural heritage, has become a recent focus, and his work has been shown by Objet d'Art in Woodstock, England since 1996. Ian makes frequent trips to Britain to pursue his architectural passion. Ian is a self-taught artist, who believes that his true understanding of artistic self-expression will come best through his experimentation with various media over time. He believes that as he ages, the wisdom that he gains with experience will be powerfully reflected in his paintings. Ian ...

Kevin P. Hendon - An understanding of stained glass and its beauty is to take a walk back in time. Reflections of art, and the painted qualities of color in stained glass, WAS the essence of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany and his European colorists left behind works of incogitable beauty and authenticity that stands frozen in time and among the greatest works of art. Although far from the Tiffany era, my work and love for stained glass has become an integral part of my life. My study of, and devotion to, the Tiffany era is the impact of my work. The Tiffany lamps that you see are true authentic reproductions of museum-quality. The glass, craftsmanship, and materials ARE the finest example in production today. My study and devotion remains active as a long standing member and consultant to the Association of Stained Glass Artists located in Gig Harbor, Wa. PLEASE NOTE : All shades 22" or larger are reinforced with at least three(3) 12g copper wires soldered from the ring aperture to the lower rim aperture. Price is based on shade only. Complimenting base is available upon request. The finials (vase caps), bases, and all hardware, used in the construction of these lamp ...

Frans Kat - A. ADELAIDE ARTISTIC GLASS (AUSTRALIA) Artist: Frans Kat Throughout more than twenty-eight years as a glass artist, Frans Kat has been working predominantly in stained glass for residential, commercial and architectural settings. These windows have often incorporated the highly specialised art of kiln-fired glass painting and staining. His strong interest in contemporary glass design has created many opportunities while his traditional training has allowed him to adapt well to projects which demanded a more traditional design approach. Frans has been involved in some of South Australia's major church window restoration and conservation projects, during his long career. He has glass works in many private stained glass collections Australia-wide, as well as some in Belgium, The Netherlands and Great Britain. His recent interests also include sculptural, fused glass pieces, combining glass and metal as well as architectural etched glass panels which include various techniques such as painting and lamination. In the occassional pauses between commissioned work, Frans often designs and paints small free-hanging "autonomous" stained glass windows which are ellaboratly hand-painted, small scale works which can be hung in front of a window rather than being installed into fixed frames. In these pieces Frans develops ...

Gerlinde Behr Johansen - A lot of my past work dealt with pain and tried to provide a visual image and shape to an ineffable experience which, to a greater or lesser extent, impacts us all. Pain is present at our birth, recurs during our lifetime, physically and emotionally, and for many of us will accompany death. Pain comes in many forms - love being one of them....

Stephen Cressey - The goal is a continual incremental self-taught exploration in traditional soft glass lampworking; work is towards creating traditional free hand blown art glass. Designing and producing annual limited edition hand blown crystal ornaments for select clients and notable charitable concerns directly supports further study in this exploration. The work is with clear crystal tubing applying overlay/s of European color glasses in the flame, similar to the early American bohemian discipline, which is diminutive, delicate, yet strong in nature. Each piece is manipulated in the flame with both hands allowing heat to join, melt and move the glass in preparation of blowing a vessel shape. Air marvering is the rule for shaping and very little surface marvering is used to achieve the final shape desired in form. Allowing gravity and each individual glass colors viscosity to effect and further control its destiny as to form and flow of color interaction is to be enjoyed within the creative process. ...

Avinash Shamdasani - Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the Art of the Creator. Artists come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the Art lives on. On many an occasion when I am creating art I have felt touch by something sacred. In those moments; I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists. I become the stars and the moon. I become the Lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the artist and the art. I become the knower and the known. I keep on creating Then it is the eternal art of creation. The creator and the creation merge into the wholeness of joy. I keep on creating And creating And creating Until there is only .
