Artist Gary Word will be showing a selection of his fused glass works at RE/MAX Junction this Thursday for Art Walk.

Born in Olympia, WA, Gary Word has received recognition in the United States and Canada for his works, which range from small‑scale pieces in traditional media to large‑scale residential and commercial interior and exterior projects. He has shared his knowledge and stages of artistic and career development with audiences at the Department of Art at U.C.L.A. and at a job fair at Highline Community College (WA).

Since 2000, his primary medium has been fused glass. His study of the instruments of master luthiers, as well as that of contemporary makers, combine with his interest in science and engineering, has led to the continuous production of electric guitars as well as members of the violin family. These intriguing instruments have been tested and certified by professional players and heard in concert throughout the region.

Join RE/MAX Junction for this Thursday’s Art Walk and enjoy music by Blues artist Shawn Bayly, who will be performing on a fused glass Epiphone-style hollow body guitar crafted by Gary Word.
