A new exhibit entitled
"Glass and Paint" at the DeBlois Gallery, Newport, features works by
painter Rene Gagnon and glass artists David and Jennifer Clancy. This show
will run from October 4th through October 28th. Gagnon, an internationally
recognized and collected painter, has incorporated pop icons into a new and
exciting body of work for this show. The Clancys have utilized "handblown
glass to reflect the beauty and liveliness of aquatic life juxtaposed
against steel" to create a collection of wall and free-standing sculptures.

David & Jennifer Clancy
David Clancy Designs
came into being in the late eighties and started out as a solo craftsperson
trying to sell his wares. Ten years later with the addition of business
partner and wife, Jennifer Clancy, Clancy Designs was born. A collaboration
that bore fruit to a craft business focusing on handblown functional
glassware, interior accessories, and objects d’art.
Over the years Clancy
Designs has transformed from a weekend work endeavor to a full time craft
business providing people with fun and original tableware and decorative
glass. Clancy Designs has participated in prominent craft shows, such as,
the American Craft Council; Baltimore Show, the Buyers Market of American
Craft, and the New York International Gift Show as well as being shown at
galleries and museum stores around the country. It is David and Jennifer’s
goal to provide their customers with unique pieces for their home that will
transform their everyday space and daily rituals. |
