Stanwood-based glass artist Raven Skyriver focuses primarily on marine animals in his work. Inspired by the natural setting of his childhood living on a small island in Puget Sound, Skyriver continuously pushes the boundaries of glass to present his viewers life-like representations of salmon, whales and other aquatic creatures. He brings years of meticulous training and experience to the contemporary glass scene, and currently teaches workshops around the world.
