Inspiration Behind the Art

“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful.” — William Morris

“I work with glass because it holds light the way memory holds feeling—subtle, shifting, and never quite the same twice.” — Cindy Poole, Glass Artist

“Each piece begins with a material that already carries a story. My job is to discover what it can become—something refined, made to last, and worthy of a place in someone’s life.” — Cindy Poole, Glass Artist
