Featured Artist Nolan Prohaska Talks About his Inspiration
I have always been fascinated by the outdoors. Ever since I was young, my family nurtured my love for nature. When I entered the University of WI River Falls in 1997, I was pursuing a degree in horticulture with a minor in liberal arts. During my sophomore year, I found myself in an introductory course for glass. To my surprise, I had a natural talent for working with the material. My pieces logically leaned toward the natural world, heavily influenced by my surrounding environments. I enjoy connecting indoor spaces with the outdoors by creating pieces inspired by desert sunrises, waterscapes, and beautiful plants. I'm looking forward to meeting you at the festival!
