I am fragile

I am bullet-proof

I am transparent

I am opaque

I am clear

I am colorful

I am hot

I am cold

I am beautiful

I am invisible

I am flawed

I am perfect

I am glass

After thirty years on the business side of art glass, Jim Matthews has reversed roles to embrace the art itself. He calls it an “acquiescence,” a giving-in to the tenacious tug that’s been gnawing at him since a love for glass first stirred decades ago.

These are compositions in glass -- uncommon, curious and expressive. They are made using a wide variety of tools and techniques, manipulating the material in all of its various states – solid, molten, and in-between.

Jim would love to make a piece for your home, loved one, special occasion or fund-raiser. Just contact the artist to discuss the possibilities.

Finished pieces and gift items are available at selected shops and galleries in the Pacific Northwest.
