What's clear and cool and better than ice cubes on a hot summer's day? A feast for your eyes in glass, that's what! (And ice cream...our favorites are mint chocolate chip and cardamom, in case you were curious.)
Chemers Gallery has exquisite glass to share with you from new and familiar artists located from San Francisco to Virginia, Santa Barbara to Utah.
Daniel Scogna
Daniel Scogna (that's "scone-yah") is a glass master. New to Chemers Gallery, Daniel has been blowing glass since the late 1980's and holds degrees in glass from both the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Illinois State University. Delicate and sophisticated in form, Daniel's glass pieces invoke the eastern landscape and take inspiration from the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley. He skillfully replicates the impressions of changing seasons, new leaves and water-rubbed river rocks in his glass vessels and sculptural pieces. Daniel has studied extensively throughout the midwest, east coast and internationally, and has taught the art of hot glass at several higher educational institutions. We're so excited to show you the latest offerings from this talented artist!
Elaine Hyde
At last, we have new blown glass vases from
Elaine Hyde! Always a crowd pleaser, Elaine's beautiful art glass shimmers and shines with iridescence. Starting her glass career at the Brooks Institute of Fine Arts in California, she went on to work and train at the Pilchuck Glass Center under Dale Chihuly during the formative years of the renowned institute. Elaine has exhibited her glass worldwide and has won numerous awards for her work. We love the colors of the glass vessels she sent us. The way the colors shift and change under different light is simply magical. We're sure you'll agree that her vases are little treasures.
