DIMENSIONS H: 4” x W: 10.5” x D: 6.5” ABOUT THE ARTIST Jupiter Nielsen's love of the natural world started as a child, catching insects in the garden and playing in the tide pools where he grew up in the Puget Sound of Washington state. While living in Hawaii he found Flameworked glass, a medium that has given him a creative outlet for his passion. Hawaii’s native plants became his focus as he spent countless hours hiking, taking photographs and volunteering. As his botanical knowledge increased so did his skills working with glass. He now resides where he grew up On San Juan Island, in Washington state.
