Item Description
4" glass ornament that comes in a satin-lined padded red box.
For this collection, each piece is hand-painted by a skilled artisan using special narrow brushes and pointed sticks. The painting begins with the artist carefully outlining the design inside the globe. Then comes the more difficult step of slowly filling in the colors that brings this original Vargas design to life using the reverse glass painting technique. The entire hand painted process requires several days to complete. The original Vargas designs are strictly followed, yet each piece possesses its own unique hand crafted character.
Lawrence Vargas is a self-taught artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico. His work represents a unique blend of cultures found in the Southwest. A skilled and multi-talented artist, Lawrence works from spiritual inspiration interwoven with life experience. He is best known for his blackware pottery, harvest maiden series and storyteller figures and paintings. All of his paintings tell a story, with both personal and universal meaning.
Donated by Mary Beth Haralovich and JJ Johnson, Friends of Access Tucson.
