FROM THE ARTIST:

Marcus Harper, a native of North Dakota who now makes his home in Washington State, has been interested in the creation of art from an early age. His fascination with glass also began at a young age, initially through the teachings of his parents (also artists) and from a healthy appreciation for the beauty of the glass windows prominent in local churches. He was (and is) inspired most by the works and imagination of Dale Chihuly, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Comfort Tiffany, our natural environment, and human interactions.

The majority of Marcus’ work reflects the love of light, regardless of the piece or medium. Each unique design strives to create a radiance of warmth, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interaction of light, color, and texture. In the past, Marcus focused his work primarily on mosaics, Frank Lloyd Wright designs, and Tiffany reproduction lamps. He has devoted great effort to perfecting the art of glass fusing and slumping and is currently involved with glass kiln casting, a glass manipulation art form that is increasing in popularity.
