My fascination with glass goes way back to when I was a young boy. At the county fairs, I would stand and watch the glass blowers produce their small figures until my folks would drag me away. My fascination stayed with me all through these years, hidden, until I married my wife Susan, an accomplished artist in pastels, colored pencil and acrylics. Through her encouragement, I purchased my first kiln from my sister-in-law and began experimenting with small pieces.

Working in pastel, mono- chromatic and colored pencil, I especially love painting and drawing portraits. Striving to capture the character and spirit of someone is truly a challenge, but one I find compelling and inspiring. For me creating an emotional connection on a two dimensional surface begins with the play of light and shadow falling on the expression of the face and position of the body. It tells a story and one that I hope to convey once the portrait is done.

Ron Heath ~” I enjoy working with glass because of the subtle, shapes and designs that can be created through my own efforts and the natural occurrences through the firing process. There are a myriad of colors available to work with which allow me to express myself. The joy of creating one-of-a-kind pieces is thrilling as I never know how they will turn out.”
Susan Heath ~ ” The many colors of light and shadow continually fascinate me in all their many forms. The human form and spirit call me time and again, even though it is the most challenging subject for me. I believe it is important to respond to what has meaning and speaks to my heart and soul. The emotional connection becomes my inspiration.
