    Not those but I've seen some of his art work. He's a very well known figure in the Tacoma/Seattle area and if you visit the downtown area of Tacoma where he has his work shop there are various local restaurants and points of interest that have his pieces on display. One of the civil courthouses in downtown Tacoma has a huge chandelier piece hanging in its main lobby.

    Maybe one of these days I'll be lucky enough to get to see or maybe even buy some of his work. I love glass art.

    Wow, Ra, these are AMAZING!!! Love all of them, especially the first two. Glass has long been a favorite medium of mine. When I was a kid, we used to go to a local fair and there was a glassblower there every year. I was totally fascinated.

    Post more, please!! :smt026
