Dancing Dolphins

Dancing Dolphins is a piece inspired by a Hawaiian quilt. In March, 2000, my family and I charterred a sailboat that took us out among the spinner dolphins off the coast of Oahu. I will never forget the joy I felt watching them play.

The dolphins in this piece are playful and textured for a three-dimensional feel. I have used silver dichroic glass to insure the dolphins are the focus of your attention. The background glass is aqua blue with a splash of iridescence. The outer layer of waves is dichroic glass reflecting many shades of blue, much like the amazing waters in Hawaii.
