Hear more from Olson in this interview video • Lewis Olson: Museum Ga...
A storyteller by nature, Lewis Olson is attracted to the endless possibilities in using glass as a medium for communication. His pieces embody his fascination with the sensual, sculptural, optical, and functional properties of glass; whether they are representational of the human figure or exotic animals or explorations of surface pattern or architectural form. His work can be seen throughout the world in private and public collections...www.cmog.org/bio/lewis-olson
