Glass artist Peter Secrest lives and works in Naples, New York. Located in the Finger Lakes region of western New York, his studio overlooks Canandaigua Lake. He has been blowing glass since 1977 and has exhibited nationally and internationally. Coming from a family of craftsmen his interest is held not only by the mastery of technique but also by aesthetic balance and content. His hand-blown glass combines ancient methods with contemporary innovation. “The molten glass is quite formless. The transition from this shapeless liquid to a complete form is a mystery that continues to satisfy and intrigue me.”—Peter Secrest
