Paul Messink:
Paul Messink is a kiln-work glass artist who draws on prior drawing and painting experience to create hand-painted, multi-layered glass panels that present nature in deep dimension. While mostly self-taught, he has been fortunate to learn from artists such as Richard LaLonde, Susan Taylor Glasgow, Mark Salsbury, Annette Baron, and Don Schneider. Messink was awarded Best in Show in the 2014 IGAA Group Exhibit GATHERING: Contemporary Glass from the Heartland (Indianapolis, IN), and was Category Winner in The 2014 Glass Prize, from Warm Glass UK (Bristol, England). He has also received Best in Glass in the 2012 and 2014 Royal Oak Clay, Glass and Metal show (Royal Oak, MI), and Multi-Media Artist of the Year in the Art Comes Alive 2013 competition (Cincinnati, OH).
