Biography

Kari Russell-Pool often collaborates with her husband, Marc Petrovic, who is also a glass artist. They both graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art in the early 1990s and set up a studio in Essex, Connecticut. Russell-Pool heats soft glass with a torch and manipulates it to create delicate lattices that often include tiny flowers, fruit, or birds.
