This month I am especially proud to feature my long time friend Nancy Halvorson. Residing in Vancouver, Washington with her husband Dick. She has captured her inner talent for creativity using the art of glass shaping. Taking ordinary glass cast away and turning them into wonderful treasures. From trivets to beautiful platters and bowls. In all shapes and colors.

Using one of two specialized glass furnace's (1- for pottery, 1 for glass) located in her garage. Nancy explores her creativity in a wonderfully unique way. I guess that is part of the mystique of her craft. You don't know how the glass melting together will turn out until it is finished.

Rick HarrisThis month I am proud to feature Rick Harris. Underwood

 Rick Harris is photographer based out of Toronto, Canada. He describes his work as an attempt to capture decay and ephemera close to home.

This includes landscapes, waterscapes, and a wide assortment of found objects. More for a recorded document than an artistic journey, he scours his backroads exploring forgotten, discarded and disappearing landscapes.

Rick is a member of a group of photographers called, The Shadow Collective. This is a group of photographers and artists with a focus on urban exploration; with a permanent exhibition in Toronto.

Rick has joined Xanluna! as a regular author and will be submitting feature articles and helping Xanluna! cover the photography front. You can see a sample of Rick's work under our newest gallery section and visit more on Rick in our Inside Xanluna! section.

Please join me in welcoming Rick and look forward to some pretty amazing photos!
