| OHCC LIVING | MAY 2026 |27 Art Lovers Our own OHCC Resident, Ernie Pick, gave a slide presentation on one of the most famous Glass Artists of our time, Dale Chihuly. Dale Chihuly was born in 1944 in Tacoma, Washington and was introduced to glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. Aer graduating in 1965, Chihuly enrolled in the rst glass program in the country, at the University of Wisconsin. He continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design where he later established the glass program and taught for more than a decade. In 1968, aer receiving a Fulbright Fellowship, he went to work at the Venini glass factory in Venice. ere he observed the team approach to blowing glass, which is critical to the way he works today. In 1971, Chihuly co-founded Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State. His work is included in more than 200 museum collections worldwide. He has been the recipient of many awards, including two fellowships from the National Endowment of the Arts and 12 honorary doctorates.

Great works have a way of revealing something new with every view. is month, we are especially excited to spotlight Bruce Taylor's magnicent painting of dynamic, splashing waves, prominently displayed at the front desk where it is sure to capture your attention the moment you walk by the area. His work beautifully captures the raw energy and movement of the ocean with remarkable skill and vibrancy. We also want to extend our deepest appreciation to all the artists who so generously share their work with our community. For the three months each piece is on display, these artists graciously part with something deeply personal — and perhaps even deprive their own families of a cherished piece. We are grateful for that generous spirit. anks, also, to Mike ornton for his help with the lighting and the installation of the art.
