Ross Richmond’s pieces are typically narrative. He works mainly with figurative elements and symbolic objects. Richmond teaches in the US and Canada. Ross is considered one of the top glass sculptors in the field today. He has worked with (and for) some of the greatest glass and non-glass artists.

“Much of my current work is influenced by man’s relationship with nature, as well as his impact upon nature. I find faces and hands to be very beautiful and expressionistic, a source of silent communication, and I use gestures and titles to help convey an overall story. My pieces are usually about communication with self or between others.” – Ross Richmond
