The Asheville Art Museum Shop has announced its December Artist of the Month: Bickley Studios. Phil and Veda Bickley are self-taught artists who were drawn to the medium of glass for artistic expression at a young age. They work independently, but also in collaborative projects. Veda's glass takes on whimsical, fluid and sensual lines while Phil's work is always confident and rich in sophisticated expression. Having worked and supported themselves as artists for more than six years, their ability to live a life fostered by their art resonates in their pieces.
Their home in the graceful rusticity of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains is also their artist's studio, so creativity is deeply etched in their everyday life. Blending the techniques of both ancient glass artisans and more modern masters, the Bickleys have developed their own systems within the flameworking community.
Very pretty ornaments, I'll have to come check them out, neighbor!
