Marty has studied and assisted in demonstration and guest artist projects often. Marty is known for the detail and realistic character of each blown glass shell.

Together, Marty and Janet combine their artistic efforts  to create unique contemporary vision of nature. Their experience with nature has inspired them to reflect its beauty, peace and wonderment in glass.
