Artists Statement  - Liquid Sands Design
Creators of Aquatic Sea Life and 
Celestial Designs

Having met and studied the glassarts at the California College of Art , in the early 1970’s the small group of artists at Liquids Sands Design have been making artglass on California’s central coast, with an emphasis on blown and cast glass solid sculptures, for over 35 years. Our Oceanic series draws an inspiration in having an interest in surfing, scuba and fishing, and all things oceanic, and naturalistic. Our natural inclination to depictions of oceanic and seaforms started in the mid 70’s with simple cast seashell forms and sanddollars, waves, and animals, which have evolved into our unique octopi, jellyfish, and larger “Aquarium” sculptures, with an array of individual sealife in each window on the sea. We strive to create beautiful, realistic, and abstractions of what excites and interests us, and we continue to develop new forms in a similar quality and individuality of marinelife, we are always working on new forms and variations of our current work. Our interest in nature and the universe also inspires our Galaxy series depicting planets and meteors, distant worlds and shooting stars. Our larger cast and blown “Planetariums” incorporate many of the smaller planets , black holes, spaceships, and other extraterrestrial imagery. Most all our artworks are designed with lighting beneath the object to enhance and interact with the piece, l.e.d. lighting is available to illuminate the work, and allow the piece to change as the colors in the rotating spectrum reacts to the magical combination of materials within.
