What Makes a Butcher's Son an Artist?

TODAY'S QUESTION:
Are you ready for Venus Retrograde -
Hint: Do you know where the goodies are - your Cutie and your Coin?

Once he stepped, back, he liked the view.

Dale Chihuly, Virgo, Virgo, is such an inspiration.

My son Chet first introduced me to his work when he was a student at U Dub in Seattle.


















You may know David Chihuly as the artist who created the glass ceiling at Belagio.

Just look at the ups and downs of his life.


From wikipedia:

• Father was a butcher, mother was a homemaker, his brother was training to be a pilot. So how did he ever become a world-reknowned artist. Let's look at his chart!
• Supported after high school by mother after his brother died in a flight-training accident and his father died of a heart attack
• BA in Interior Design
• MS in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
• Fulbright Scholarship to study glass in Venice
• Master of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design.
• Founded the Pilchuck Glass School.
• In 76 in England, lost his left eye in a car accident
• In 79 dislocated his shoulder in a bodysurfing accident. No longer able to hold the glass blowing pipe
• Hired others to do it, saying, "Once I stepped back, I liked the view."
• Said it allowed him more perspectives, and also to anticipate problems quicker
• He describes his role as "more choreographer than dancer, more supervisor than participant, more director than actor."

You'll see his work in museums and botanical gardens all over the world, as well as in stores and in people's homes! Some dynamite chandeliers too! He also has 2 retail stores - one at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, the other at the MGM Grand Casino in Macau.




So what do we learn from his chart? Stay tuned!
