“Show and Tell with artist, Marty Kremer”

Marty Kremer started as a stained glass enthusiast while pursuing a career in medical technology. Glass became a spare-time business and then a full-time obsession. His first commercial ventures involved combining mineral and seashell specimens with glass, in boxes and hanging pieces. Marty’s experience has included glass blowing with several Hudson Valley studios in New York and workshops in blown and fused glass at Penland School in North Carolina, Urbanglass in New York, and the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.

Over the years, his work has included Japanese-style art glass lamps, elegant jewelry boxes and decorative hanging panels. More recently, he has concentrated on creating fused glass vessels of stunning form, color, and texture. His work is influenced primarily by texture and pattern from many
sources including Native American fabrics, Italian masonry, classic American quilts, and wood marquetry.
