Kathleen Mulcahy, born in 1950 in Newark, NJ is American glass artist, educator and co-founder of the Pittsburgh Glass Center. She’s received numerous prestigious fellowships and awards, including honors from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a Fulbright Foundation Lusk Memorial Award, as well as being named ‘Pennsylvania Artist of the Year.’ Her works are featured in several permanent collections globally, including the Corning Museum of Glass, the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s ‘Renwick Gallery,’ and the Carnegie Museum of Art.

Here's an excerpt from a 2007 essay on Mulcahy written by Pittsburgh based Independent Art Curator and Critic, Vicky A. Clark PhD: "The artist has become known for her blown glass Spinners. These large, singular forms have varied color patterns that swirl around the pointed volumes. They look like super-sized children's spinning tops and are drawn from Mulcahy's childhood memories of growing up in her parent's toy store in Orange, New Jersey. Though no longer functional and now virtuoso in execution, the Spinner's demonstrate the artists "devotion to small things." She has called up a common and appealing form (a child's toy), divorced it from its original scale, material, and function, and produced a beautiful, and now conceptual, sculpture."

This ‘Spinner' is FLAWLESS.
