 About the Artists:

Heather and John are two accomplished glass blowers who met in Portland and began working together in 1995. “ While assisting John, I had a chance to develop my own body of work, quite different than his. John’s work is a more painterly representation of nature. His floral landscapes and motifs are influenced by his admiration of Tiffany and long time immersion in stained glass. I also draw from the natural world, but in a less literal way. I refine and reflect natural images by using organic patterns and luminous colors.”

John creates his work by using a layering process of glassblowing that allows him to apply color and design components from the background forward. The Artist creates an impression of depth and painted design by purposefully leaving some clear "windows" through the glass to the first layer to enable the colors to meet and react with one another.

Because Heather and John shared a workspace their individual ways of seeing things began to show the influence of one another’s work. A harmonious product line emerged. “We were more successful as a team than as individual studios”, relates Heather. Our relationship evolved, creating Fields & Fields Blown Glass, as well as two wonderful children”.
