Paul Stankard is an internationally acclaimed artist and pioneer in the studio glass movement..During his ten year scientific glassblowing career, he became a master of fabricating complex instruments.
In 1972, Paul left industry to pursue his dream of being creative in glass full time.
His translucent orbs bursting with activity and life are made entirely from glass.
When Stankard suddenly directed a decade of industrial glass working techniques into the interpretation of flowers, bees, vines, and leaves encased in glass, it wasn’t long before art dealers discovered his work and he began to create art full-time.
According to Stankard, ““By blending mysticism with magical realism, I work to express organic credibility through my botanical interpretations.”
“Crafted in glass, I reference the continuum of nature and celebrate on an intimate level her primal beauty.”

I think they are amazing, too. And everything inside of them is glass as well. I can’t even imagine how you do that.
