Glass art is a very specific and creative talent that offers a beautiful and timeless addition to any home or commercial office setting. Artist Chris McCarthy applied his skills to his glass art in its liquid and solid state deliberately sculpting each piece to reduce the refraction of light. McCarthy then uses very old Venetian techniques of Murrini, Incalmo, and Battuto to give his work a stunning appearance and additional depth.
