Gary Beecham currently lives and works with his wife, glass artist Mary Lynn White, in the mountains of North Carolina. Much of Gary’s work has been heavily influenced by ancient glass, both in form and in technique. The ancients treated glass as a plastic gem material, a substance that could be colored, stretched, melted and carved by the maker. Gary has experimented with countless ways of manipulating glass involving blowing, fusing and cutting. Over his twenty-five year career, he has become well-known for heavy, thick-walled vessels. Gary’s work is shown and appreciated internationally. He is represented in corporate and museum collections world-wide.
