Dale Chihuly, born on September 20, 1941, is an American glass sculptor. He studied art at a variety of universities around the country, and later studied glass in Venice, which inspired him to open the Pilchuck Glass School. In 1976, Chihuly was involved in a car accident, permanently blinding him in his left eye. He could no longer blow glass, but instead, hired others to do it for him while he directed. The use of colors, shapes, and designs in Chihuly's work was what initially captivated me.
