Mike Wallace - Toledo Artist
"Creating glass art is an immediate, creative and challenging experience where I use my vision and technical skills to create fine art."
Although I did not start blowing glass until 1997, I've been interested in glass art since I was 12 years old. I have found the color of glass and the way it uses light to be remarkable. There's also something amazing about imagining art and transforming it into a finished piece. Each piece feels like a member of the family.
I studied glassblowing at the Toledo Museum of Art, completing three levels of glass classes as well as several years of independent study at the museum. In 2001, I quit my "day job" to pursue glass art as a full-time career. Supporting me in my journey are my wife, four children, and four cats.
