Craig Mitchell Smith:
"In 2006, I discovered my medium in glass. Medium not only in the sense of the substance used to create my art, but as a voice through which the spirit speaks. I love glass for its metaphors of the human condition. At its best, it is colorful and transparent, brittle when cold and malleable when warm, stronger than it looks, enduring the ages if treated with care and respect.
Isadora Duncan, when asked what her dance meant said, 'If I could tell you what I mean, I wouldn't have to dance.' I never set out to make something beautiful or meaningful. My work is a response to beauty or meaning. I work in glass to tell you what I mean. I prefer to have my glass speak for itself."
Craig Mitchell Smith is the artist and owner of Craig Mitchell Smith Glass in Lansing, Michigan. He is known for his colorful creations inspired by nature, exhibiting his artwork in various gardens including the Missouri Botanical Garden in Saint Louis, Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, and Disney’s Epcot Center.
