Since I was a child, art has been my life. When I found glass I found my dream, a medium that is limitless. February 2005 is when I began this journey one that I hope never ends, much like a dream. Being primarily self taught, my main focus has been focal pendants, but in the years to come I plan to jump off the beaten path and venture into everything that is possible through imagination. Thanks for taking time to check out my gallery and I hope that you will return to see what I have came up with next.

These pendants mark my first years work. All pendants are made from borosilicate glass and are all one of a kind designs. I have been spending most of my time trying to find my niche. I have yet to find what exactly I want to stick to as far as design but that IS what I like. Uniqueness is key and that is what I hope to accomplish each time I get behind the torch!

This is my first vessel. I just started working with hollow and have really enjoyed it. I thought I would start off with something a little smaller. This piece is about 3" tall, made with North Star caramel and cherry wood. The top has a white gilson opal that blings in the sunlight. Cant wait to try my next one. Wish me luck!

To me focal pieces make a beaded necklace. It brings all the colors of the beads to one point. Focal also give you that color pallete you need to make a beutiful necklace.

My name is Paul Doty and I am from Mobile, AL. I have been working with glass since February of 2005. I moved to Massachusetts in 2003. this is where I found glass and started my journey. In February of 2008 I made my move back home to Alabama. I hope in the years to come to further my talent and hope to teach others in the area.
