Featured Artist: Sean Goddard, Salt Spring Island, BC

Sean Goddard, www.seangoddardinsects.com, originally hails from Mississauga, Ontario. He began dabbling in glasswork while living in Whistler in the 1990s. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a cottage industry for Sean as he began to sell his new creations at the markets and galleries in the region.

“At some point , I made my first insect piece inspired by a book called An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles. One thing led to another and I was fortunate enough to have gained a buying audience that allowed me to carry on. The desire to further delve into the glasswork is met equally with the enjoyment of the biodiversity of nature in the insect world. There is so much colour and form that I don’t think I will ever tire of it and hope to continue to evolve my work to represent a slice of that world”

Currently, Sean Goddard Insect Sculptures are created on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. You can find them at various premiere shows located throughout the Pacific Northwest (see more info here) and Sean Goddard Insects Salt Spring Island Gallery (location details here).
