Artist Kevin Shluker realizes sculpture from molten glass that is inspired by his past and present surroundings. Born in the cultural hot bed of what is now the Silicon Valley, Shluker would not find an introduction to glassblowing until 1995, when he made his home in the Pojoaque Valley north of Santa Fe, N.M. After a brief period under the tutelage of Charlie Miner at the Tesuque Glassworks, Shluker decided to pursue his education from the masters of Murano, an island in the Venetian Lagoon known for a millennium of history in the art of glassblowing. Fortune led him to the door of maestro Dino Rosin, who would become Shluker’s friend and mentor. Rosin is a glass master of forty-seven years experience who in his time has collaborated with greats such as Picasso and ChagallCollection
