Silas Holtzclaw, born and raised in south-central Louisiana was brought up in an environment filled with music, frequent visits from family and friends, and given freedom to express his love for art.

Since his childhood Silas has always leaned toward expression. Through his elementary, middle, and high school years he participated in various poetry and art events by which he received many awards. As these forms of art and expression have stayed with him to this day; Silas continues to push the envelope of creativity in both his writing and art.

Working with many different art farms throughout his life he came across a unique glass piece that he saw on a vacation many years ago. What he saw inspired him to begin working with glass in a unique way. This chance crossing cultivated a growing relationship with an art medium that he has since held on to.

In his own words:

“Carving Glass has been the most fulfilling art expression I have ever experienced. As an artist it offers a balance of challenge and creativity as well as a constant use of vivid imagination”

So the story moves forward as Silas continues to captivate both clients and on lookers with his work.
