For artists seeking inspiration and others seeking insight or delight, this book offers more than simply a catalogue of the 2007 exhibition at the Main Art Gallery, California State University Fullerton. The featured artist is Richard Marquis, who is based in the Puget Sound area and has been a glass artist for more than 40 years. Author Behrstock, an artist and photographer himself (and also a physician and a writer), offers commentary about art and creativity, thoughtfully chosen quotes, and first-hand insight into Marquis' methods and artistic spirit. His text accompanies a rich display of photos of the glass pieces themselves and also of Marquis' home and work environment. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press.
