Something magical happens when the glass traps the light between the layers.  The pieces become luminescent almost to the point of looking wet. Light color, transparency and opacity have always intrigued him.  Pursuing color theory and physics of the light inspired my new pieces that work in harmony with color.  
Unique and beautiful, each flower is made by the artist Sam Stark in his Asheville studio.
