Nina Paladino Caron Works

Artist’s Statement

Paladino Hansen Art Glass Studio is made up of two glass artists who have been working together for 30 years.  Nina Paladino and Michael Hansen work as a team to create magnificent freeform bowls and other masterpieces.  They use the glass to express and reflect the beauty and power of nature.  Many of their pieces are thought to be images of the ocean, sunsets, ponds, and even galaxies.  The two refer to the glass as a canvas on which they paint with the colored glass.  Paladino and Hansen have developed their own techniques where they weave around each other, building and creating until they achieve their vision.  They focus on quality and make each piece with care and consideration of color and design.
