Welcome to the Robertson Stash podcast! In this episode, we're joined by renowned glass artist Hallie Cat Glass.
Hallie takes us on a captivating journey through her life and career, starting with the surprising story behind her name, which is a play on "alley cat" and her given name, Hailey. She shares how her lifelong love for horses influenced her work ethic, leading her to trade work for glass lessons just as she once worked at stables for ride time.
We also discuss her early introduction to glassblowing, her time in Philadelphia's vibrant glass community, and the evolution of her unique art style, which she calls "carved paintings". She explains how this technique combines her passions for both sculpture and painting. Hallie also gives us a glimpse into her daily life at The Portal in Colorado and her creative process, which includes painting from her travels to create authentic glass landscapes.
This episode is full of valuable insights on creativity, perseverance, and the importance of finding your own unique path. Tune in to hear more about her artistic journey, her thoughts on gratitude, and her hilarious anecdotes, including a story about a stolen sculpture that convinced her to pursue art full-time.
