So cute yet holds deep meaning!Gallery artist, Claire Kelly creates these adorable glass elephants but don't let the cutest fool you, she is making an important environmental statement. Kelly's body of work examines the relationships we have with animals and their larger presence in our world and the current environment. The result is a series of fantastical microcosms, which bring a consciousness and introspection to their decorative appeal. These glass sculptures tel...l and reveal a story about the fragility and preservation, within these small worlds, where the animals dwell, while presenting their role in the grander scheme of life.

The Preston Singletary exhibition "Humanity at the Crossroad", featured a selection of collaborative pieces with Canadian artist Joe David and was on display at the . Joe David, who is Singletary's mentor, opened his eyes to the minutia of details that informs the work that he does today. Singletary notes that "These guardian spirit figures are very special pieces. They are mentor and mentee collaborations and should be regarded as evolutionary objects with deep roots to t...he past while transformed into the glass medium."

Get to know gallery artist Preston Singletary The art of Preston Singletary has become synonymous with the relationship between European glass blowing traditions and Northwest Native art. His artworks feature themes of transformation, animal spirits and shamanism through elegant blown glass forms and mystical sand carved Tlingit designs. His work with glass transforms the notion that Native artists are only best when traditional materials are used. It has helped advo...cate on the behalf of all indigenous peopleaffirming that we are still herethat that we are declaring who we are through our art in connection to our culture. @prestonsingletarystudio #PrestonSingletary #SandraAinsleyGallery #HumanityAtTheCrossroad #SpiritDish #Toronto #TorontoArt #BlownGlass #GlassArt #Tlingit #ContemporaryArt See more

Gallery artist, Evelyn Dunstan. Coming from an arts background, Evelyn found her niche with lost-wax kiln casting in 2003, and has since explored the qualities of locally made crystal from Gaffer Coloured Glass. Modifying materials, techniques and methods, has allowed her to cast fine detail and control colour placement, taking advantage of the creative freedom for conceptual vision and innovation that the lost wax process encourages. #Evelyndustan #glassart #sandraai...nsleygallery #glass #torontoart #torontogallery See more
