About the artist

Peet was introduced to glass in 1971 as one of the first students at The Pilchuck Glass School, in Stanwood, Washington. Peet Earned his BFA degree in Ceramics fro the Kansas City Art Institute and received his MA degree in Glass from Kent State University in 1976.

In Peets Landscape Series he shapes the tree images by using flamework techniques, applying the hot cane glass directly to the surface of the blown piece.

Peet has learned that "glass can be intensely hot, delicate enough to float in air but also exhibit tremendous strength. It can be transparent as water or take on the luster of metals… virtually anything that can be imagined."
