Artist Duncan McClellan
Art glass piece
Duncan’s fascination with glass began at age five, when he visited a glass factory in West Virginia. Duncan
never forgot the image of the glowing, molten mass being formed by an expert craftsman. After successfully
working with leather and clay, he finally had the opportunity to learn to blow glass at a studio in Ybor City,
Florida in 1987. Currently, his work depicts emotions relating to family, personal growth and the spiritual connections between each of us as souls. The processes used in Duncan’s one-of-a-kind and series works enable imagery inside, on the surface –and in some cases both– to juxtapose combined images to articulate the
message or idea. Learning these techniques and further experimentation with the medium has allowed Duncan
more freedom of expression, to better draw the viewer into what he envisions and hopefully to touch similar
emotions.
Note: There is a minimum reserve on this piece.
Dinner & Limousine Night Out
Ambassador Limousine has one of the most impeccable limousine fleets on the west coast of Florida. Enjoy
