I invited Mark Abildgaard to show his work at COLD+HOT 2008, our glass sculpture group exhibition, because he's a local artist, and because his aesthetic is a great combination of American innovation and sophisticated technique. At the Glass Art Society's conference in Portland, Oregon last June, Mark had one of the largest attendances for a lecture at the conference. The room was so crowded with acolytes, I couldn't even get close to let him know we were present! Mark has a sound following of his work, and is one of the original group of California glass artists and sculptors who understands the relationship of light to his sculpture.

Micaela,
Thanks for keeping my work on display. I think the blog is a great idea. It is a way to make a personal connection with the Gallery. It has been rare in my experience to have an open dialog with the gallery owner. I would like to show some of my cast work in the Fall. Right now I am waiting for the heat wave to end so I can fire my kiln! It has been 104 with power alerts and bad air warnings for Sacramento.
Take Care,
Mark
