Whitfield Designs
"Our designs are influenced by diving in the shallow, clear waters of Florida and the Caribbean, and by our dance instructing careers. Many of our designs and compositions, particularly those involving the latticino technique, have a feeling reminiscent of underwater coral reefs and the rhythm of the dance. "

Glass artists Warner Whitfield and Beatriz Kelemen work with borosilicate glass and fire to create original sculptural forms that are inspired by nature and movement. Each sculpture is created without the use of molds or castings. Each piece is formed by first melting the glass into a taffy-like texture. Then, with the aid of heat and gravity, the glass is gathered, stretched, and blown into shape.

Warner Whitfield began working in glass in 1972 and apprenticed with master glass artist Fritz Bachman from Hamburg, Germany, before establishing his own glass studio in 1976. Beatriz Kelemen began working in glass in 1984 in Venezuela, tutored by her father, Frank Kelemen, well-known for his work in stained glass. She has a bachelor's degree in architecture and a master's degree in project management from Cal Poly University in California.

Whitfield and Kelemen's work is shown in many galleries and has won numerous awards at juried exhibitions throughout the United States. Some collectors and commissions include: Pittsburg Plate Glass, United Technologies, Japanese Embassy, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bergstrom-Mahler Museum, Martha Stewart, Stephen Kind, Whoopi Goldberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the King of Jordan, and former Premier of Newfoundland Danny Williams. Their work has also been featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

Looks just as pictured on the site. Packaged to arrive in perfect condition, which it did. Those were the two concerns I had about ordering something like this online.

Stunning and Graceful Sculpture

My husband ordered this sculpture for me for a Mother's Day present. It arrived yesterday and is perfect in every way! The blue color is just as shown and looks vibrant on the heron and pastel-like on the leaves. It was packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition with directions on how to assemble for the desired effect. Lovely item!!!

You could just look at this piece all day long

We are so happy that we own this sculpture. It is absolutely exquisite. Everyone that sees it is in awe. We also had the pleasure of communicating with Beatriz. She wanted to make sure that we were happy with our purchase. And I must say, that I have never seen such a fantastic packing process, which came along with instructions for putting it together, and a handwritten note.

Exquisite Form and Color

My husband and I bought "Heron in the Marsh, Blue Waters" for each other. It is graceful and serene. We have the perfect spot for it on a mantel. It's very delicate, so it's best in a protected place. Such a beautiful sculpture. I wish we could buy them in every color! Our thanks to Warner Whitfield and Beatriz Kelemen.
