In my early carrer the Vietnam war was going on. I wasnt part of a specific artwork movement, but I'm in the glasswork catergory. During my life the Presidents were from Roosevelt all the way to Obama.
I wasn't really influenced by someone. I was influenced from nature, not many people blow glass, and there were none when I was in my prime. I studied glassblowing at the University of Wisconsin, with Harvey Littleton. In 1969 I established the Glass Department at the Rhode Island School of Design, where I taught until 1983. My main inspiration was the ceramics artist Michael Lambert.
