About The Artist

The name as well as the logo image for my business, Spirit Glass, is rooted heavily in my own faith development. The name is drawn from an overall belief in a Creator who provides us with the skills and abilities that we can choose to use or not use as we journey through this life, and who, from time to time, changes things in ways that are not often easy to understand (if you haven’t read it yet, check out “The Case for Miracles by Lee Strobel https://www.amazon.com/Case-Miracles-Journalist-Investig…/…/ , which highlights numerous case studies on the ways that God continues to interact with our modern lives – if you were ever curious if miracles still happen, this is a great place to start).

.

The logo image has two important components – the flame representing the Holy Spirit and the gifts that are continually given to us while the “t” is shaped in the form of a cross, representing Jesus's love for all who call to him and the path of life I seek to lead to improve not only my own well-being but to support those around me. In recognition of the gifts I continue to receive and my growing faith in God and Christ, all my newly commissioned works from 10/19 on will include a small cross inscription next to my name and date on the bottom of all signed pieces.

.

In terms of my approach to the craft, I love the almost limitless capacity for originality and fluidity that blown and shaped glass presents. It allows for the connection of mind, body, and spirit into one complete form. With these elements, I seek to reshape the glass to get truly unique patterns and mixes of color, and make items that are both useful and inspiring. Every once in a while, something comes out of a finished glass piece that I could never have made happen on my own in a hundred tries, yet I am truly thankful when it does. This is the primary reason I stay with this medium and am always looking forward to the next finished piece.

.

Through my work, I also believe its important to share of one's gifts and use them to help those around me. To that end, I am pleased to offer my support to organizations I have a personal connection with and which have a proven history of valuing and supporting the sanctity of all human life through all its stages. Groups I’ve helped in the past include Neighbors to Nicaragua, Penacook Pregnancy Center, St. Patrick’s Church, Maddie’s Hands, NH Leadership Series, and others.

Through 9/5/23, 100% of sales go to: US Ociba Children's Right to Education. An initiative I started to support children's education in the Arua district of Uganda. We are in critical need of additional funds to complete tuition, medical and support payments for the 63 children and others we support.

Additionally, first responders (police, fire, emt), members of the US Armed Forces, AND their family members who support them should contact me for a special discount code in thanks for your service. Just email me at spiritglassllc@gmail.com.

Thanks to all of you for your support and being part of my own journey. I hope our paths continue to cross and that you receive all the blessings and supports you need to navigate the many paths of life.

In faith,
Peter
