Designed by Ulrica Hydman-Vallien "Desire, passion, energy - an artist can love and hate at the same time. I can be argumentative and totally committed. With glass all things are possible. Glass is immediate, intense, demanding; never is it just plain old glass. I love it for painting on, for telling tales. I have no rules. I allow my instinctive feelngs to take me whever they want."
