These exquisite glass interpretations of the male and female Northern Cardinal are handcrafted by Metamora glass artist, Kim Fields. Each bird and tree limb with feet are two separate glass components which slide onto a steel support secured to a Manzanita wood base for display. Each bird on its base measures approximately 2-1/2” long x 1” wide. These beautiful one-of-a-kind sculptures were generously donated by Ms. Fields. kimfieldsglass.com/
Kim Fields, Glass Artist Kim Fields, from Metamora, Michigan, is a well-known contemporary glass artist recognized for her sculptural birds, butterflies and three-dimensional flower beads. Fields has been making glass beads since 1999 when she left a 20-year corporate career in Advertising to pursue her passion with the art of glass. The natural world has always inspired Fields’ creativity and is the primary influence for her work. She strives for artistic realism, attempting to replicate each subject as faithfully in glass as possible. Fields invests a lot of time studying every aspect of a subject’s form, structures, and colors, long before she sits down at the torch. Articles about her works have appeared in numerous books and publications. Fields’ work is in The Corning Museum of Glass, N.Y.; The KOBE Lampwork Museum, Japan; and many private collections throughout the world. Fields has taught and demonstrated at many glass studios throughout the United States and internationally. You can view other pieces of her work on her website: http://www.kimfieldsglass.com/
