Preston Singletary

Singletary’s art has become synonymous with the relationship between Tlingit culture and fine art. His glass sculptures deal with themes of Tlingit mythology and traditional designs, while also using music to shape his contemporary perspective of Native culture. Singletary started blowing glass at the Glass Eye studios in Seattle, WA in 1982, where he grew up and continues to work and live. He developed his skills as a production glass maker and attended the Pilchuck Glass School.  In 1993 he traveled for work to Sweden where he was influenced by Scandinavian design. Singletary’s works are exhibited internationally in museums, galleries, and private collections.
