Glass Art - Chihuly Collection, St. Petersburg, Florida

About five years ago on our annual hiatus to Florida to escape the New England winters, we spent about three days in St. Petersburg. What a beautiful city. We had some good weather most of the time but when we encountered some rain, we headed into the Morean Arts Center‎ that is the permanent home to the Chihuly Collection. I had never heard of Dale Chihuly before, but my friend who was with us was an art teacher and knew of his works. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away by the shapes and colors of the glass. Better yet, photographs were permitted of the art. Chihuly is world famous and is a magician in creating artwork with such a delicate material. His art ranges from small to massive. His art has been seen all over the world. I have since visited his Garden and Glass Museum in Seattle and was even more impressed with his talent. If you ever have a chance to see his work, I would recommend that you do so.
