Photos of real critters which inspire my glass sculptures, taken last night and this AM. Now that it's summer, there's no end to good inspiration for my artwork!

I caught (but quickly released!) this one for a better photo. Probably about 2 feet long (and the smaller of the two, by far!)

Wesley Fleming
Wesley Fleming, glass sculptor Wesley is inspired by the shapes and colors of nature as well as his wacky imagination, spending much of his spare time exploring under rocks and logs outdoors. With his glass insects, Wesley mimics actual species with intricate detail. In other pieces he conjures creatures from dreams and his inner reality.
