P R E S TO N S I N G L E TA RY and J O D Y N A R A N J O Blue Rain Gallery is proud to present a third collaboration between Seattle based Tlingit glass artist Preston Singletary and Santa Clara potter Jody Naranjo for their show titled Preston Singletary and Jody Naranjo, A Collaboration in Glass III. Preston Singletary has continued his role as a leading ambassador of contemporary Native glass art through this third collaboration with Jody Naranjo.

Jody’s joyful and whimsical style of carving blends brilliantly with Preston’s classic and contemporary vessels taking both artist’s works to a new level.

“Preston is an exceptional teacher.” Says Naranjo. “He lets your artistry come through in glass, and he’s very patient. It was exciting to work with so many colors, and the whole process made me look at the pottery differently. I appreciate it even more now.”

Innovator, ambassador, collaborator, teacher, and consummate artist, Singletary continues to chart new territory and push the limits of his medium and his artistry. “I feel a real sense of purpose in my work,” he says. “For me, this is a calling.”

Through Blue Rain Gallery, Singletary and Naranjo have once again been given a comparative advantage for creating iconic artwork that will certainly redefine the landscape of contemporary Native America art. Blue Rain Gallery invites you to discover and experience the beautiful magnificence of this innovative collaboration between these two exquisite artists.

“It was exciting to work with so many colors, and the whole process made me look at the pottery differently.”
