Michael Church is another off-hand glass blower that I researched today. He live in our neck off the States (this beautiful landscape in the North West) and also works primarily with the media of glass and steal. From the web site http://www.glassartistsgallery.com/artist-bio-117.htm they say, "The creation of his art involves high temperatures, electricity, fire, and earth elements. The topics and feelings of the work reflect those natural forces". These are the elements that drive me to follow my dreams of becoming a great artist in the medium of glass. Here are some of his works. His "nesting bowl" in pink is very unique the concave & convex shaping and the use of line (with a pattern) draw your eyes around the bowl then to the curly point on the end (very nice) of the bowl. The wall art with its concave flower patterns and use of "warm colors" and line really make this piece feel real almost like someone took it from the Earth and somehow preserved it then hung on their wall. The next piece is a representational fish aquarium. The time this must have taken "WOW" it uses so many influences from the ocean the fish, star fish, rock, and plant life is so very representational of life, and the use of space along the wall is used very well "incredible". This is so very inspiring to find artists like this when I thought I had seen them all and every time I find one their works are even more incredible, beautiful, and flowing.
