born in Washingnton, usa, his material of choice is Glass. he enrolled in one of the first glass programs there was to study and continued in Rhode Island school of design where he formed the glass program. he also has work in many glass factories  and has had exhibitions all over the world. usually our first impression of glass is how fragile it is, but what we don't take into consideration is how malleable it its , how colourful it could be and how many textures it can take. his work is impressive specially the large scale pieces as well as the installations.

of american nationality, her artwork is created so that i will respond to the elements it is in contact with, it maybe water, air, earth or even fire, its possible that this respect or incline for the elements came form the several years she lived in Asia. So she started to think in what way she could create a volume without a solid body, one day while watching fisherman in the India, she decided her work would be of nets.
