The artist

Brian Mace

Glass Artist & Founder, Mace Glass Art

I was raised in Central Kansas and graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1985. In the spring of 1987, I relocated to the Dallas/Ft Worth area with only what could fit in a Toyota pickup truck. Following a few jobs and approximately three years at Junior College, I found myself employed in the entertainment industry focusing on stage lighting. This opportunity fulfilled a significant dream for me and went a long way to satisfying my vagabond heart, yet I felt another calling that eluded me for several years.

Throughout my life, I have been influenced by and drawn to various art mediums including pottery, silver smithing, sculpture, computer graphics, music, and lighting. Additionally, I have held a long-standing fascination with glass as an art medium.

In 2012, I discovered SiNaCa Studios in Ft Worth, Texas, and was immediately captivated. Shortly thereafter, I began taking private lessons and quickly realized that glass art would become an integral part of my life.

Given my extensive background in an array of lighting applications, it was inevitable that the interplay between glass and light would capture my imagination and manifest in my work. While glass art is inherently beautiful, the integration of light elevates it to new heights.

Currently, I specialize in creating lamps, various pendant lights, and Light Boxes. My portfolio also includes a growing collection of awards and trophies. My techniques incorporate both blown and kiln-formed glass, complemented by sandblasting for surface decoration.

Although I am unsure of where this journey will ultimately lead, I am eager to continue exploring and enjoying the process.
