Biography

Stephen Dee Edwards grew up on the coast of California, visiting the beach with his family every day. Using his experiences and memories of the ocean to inspire his work, he aims to produce not realistic sculptures but abstract interpretations. Edwards originally worked with ceramics, but quickly recognized the infinite possibilities of working with hot glass after seeing it for the first time. He is particularly interested in using glass to capture a moment in time and considers its optical and fluid qualities ideal for communicating his childhood impressions of the Pacific.
