About the Artist
Mark Selleck taught
himself to blow small glass pieces
while a geology graduate student
in 1969. Taking an instant liking
to the medium, he soon began
shaping more complex solid forms.
Twenty-seven years ago he moved
his company, Glass Impressions,
to a 17-acre property outside
of Waxhaw, North Carolina, where
he won commissions to make pieces
for restaurants, other businesses,
and private homeowners
Mark learned early in life that
he enjoyed selling things he
could make himself. As a teenager,
he helped build the pleasure
boats his father, a trained marine
engineer, designed and built
in southeast Florida. But even
as a third grader, Mark sold
to classmates the small wooden
toys he fashioned from scraps
in his father’s
shop.
"There are so many areas
where there is no ‘correct’ way
to do something,” Mark
says. “People can find
ways to create interesting things
with an open mind and the freedom
to experiment. If you don’t
have instruction, and teach yourself,
you may find a way to do things
that others haven’t thought
of.”
