The art of David Hartman, whether it is
presentational, functional, or pure beauty, has been widely accepted since his
youth. David's work is perfect in the fashion and decorating world but his ideas in
glass art still have not been completed. The appeal of the artist's work is his
alchemy: this is what separates him from other glass artists. He has combined
the qualities of the Old World with the design of the new century, which explains the
twenty-year success of his Swallowtail Glass Studio.
Among the names on David's clientele list
have been Neiman Marcus, Contemporary Art Glass of New York, Rax of Amsterdam, and Rare
Discovery of Hawaii.
David has had the honor of being invited
to exhibit his work internationally. His art was included in the Tiffany Glass
Exhibit, De Young Museum in San Francisco. While participating in a glass show in
Amsterdam, David was able to spend six weeks touring France to demonstrate and instruct
his method of the art of blowing glass.
