Tracy Glover

As a young girl Tracy Glover saw a photo of a woman blowing glass and found the image so intriguing she was inspired to try it herself. She fell in love with the challenge of working with the material and realized the pleasure of making decorative, functional objects.

Using Venetian techniques, Tracy Glover artfully crafts table lamps, floor lamps, wall and ceiling lamps, in addition to a gorgeous collection of vases, drawer and cabinet pulls. Her sumptuously colored glass catches and reflects the light, creating a dazzling focal point in a room.

Molten glass brews 24 hours a day in a crucible waiting to be melded together by her skilled hands. Glover is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, universally known as one of the finest art schools in the country. Her passion for the ancient craft of shaping glass has taken her from Venice to a crystal factory in a convent in Belgium as well as to Pilchuck Glass School, a mecca for glass-making in Seattle.

It comes as no surprise to learn that Glover is a rower. She begins each day using well-honed artisan's arms to pull her oars through the glistening waves of local waterways. Her dawn is a liquid one. Anyone who has ever had their heart transported by the prismatic colorshow of a sunrise on water will begin to understand what inspires her.

No two Tracy Glover creations are exactly alike. What they share is the dramatic vibrancy of color and light. Each is created according to time-honored glass-blowing techniques. Sections of fused glass rods, varying in thickness and color, are cut and arranged in a dance of heat, urgency, and vision.

A rich spectrum of lively gem tones is complemented by shapes both pure and playful. When other materials are added to the mix - shades of Japanese rice paper or nubby silks - the contrast writes translucent poetry.
