Artist Feature of the DAY! Visit Glass Artist Shane Dorey at this year's festival. "Nature, Biology and the interconnectedness of all life has always fascinated me and my work reflects that. I strive for each piece to embody the grace, beauty and complexity found in nature. Through glass, I trace the hidden patterns that shape our world, seeking harmony between movement, balance, and the pulse of life itself."
