Introduction by Dr. Julie Anne Denton

Photography by Jeff DiMarco, Ron Farina, and Paul Stankard

Paul J. Stankard single-handedly changed the centuries-old tradition of glass art paperweight making forever by challenging the angle from which we view the paperweight. The artist also created an enchanting, inspiring, mythical, and thoughtfully authentic artistic language that is influenced by his love of the poetry of Walt Whitman.
