About

If art is the expression of the soul, the artist feels that Glass Art is the window to the soul. It allows the artist depth, plus only as much control as will happen on any given day. Mr. Cimaglio imagines the final form and imagery, then works for it's solution. There are oriental threads that run through much of this work. This imagery places the serenity of a tea garden and the peace of that tranquil setting into the viewers mind.

The artist, Lawrence J. Cimaglio, grew up in a modest home with a large family. There, he learned honesty, faith, love and compassion. He recieved his B.A. from Western Illinois University. He has been a glass artist since 1980 and has focused his efforts in warm and hot glass since 1997. Lawrence has been a guest instructor at Arrowmont(TN), Memphis School of Art and Watkins College of Art and Design as well as Glass Craft Expo (Las Vegas) and numerous venues across the country. He is author of The Art of Glass Fusing and his upcoming The Finer Points of Glass Fusing. His art is collected in private collections worldwide.
