Painting and lampworking are my passions and it gives me a great deal of satisfaction when others enjoy my work. I paint a wide variety of subjects, but perhaps I get the most pleasure out of painting pet portraits. The people who hire me really love their pets and want something that will keep their memory alive.

   When I am not painting, I am lampworking, making glass beads from Venetian glass using a torch and kiln. Then I set the beads in one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.

   I hope you get a chance to see each of the galleries on this website. If you like my paintings and jewelry or just want to talk about them, please write me at my email address:  jrhawse@jrhstudio.com.

   Please visit often. I try to change the site as frequently as I can by adding new works of art and items of interest to site visitors. 

   Best wishes to all,

         JR Hawse
