Eric Mort

Eric Mort was bitten by the creativity bug at a young age and spent much of his free time drawing and painting. "I grew up in a home where art was treasured," he says. "I remember Mom's sketchbooks, the jewelry Dad cast in his basement workshop, and the bronze sculptures by my Uncle Dave -- so I guess it isn't all that surprising that I ended up doing something creative." However, it wasn't until 1994 -- when he met well-known glass artist Lewis Wilson in Quartzite, Arizona -- that Eric realized what that something should be. Since early 2006 Eric has been working strictly in borosilicate glass, using precious metals such as gold, silver, and palladium. Eric’s spheres, Pocket Galaxies, and pendants are becoming more and more popular.
