Reed Drawing by Dale Chihuly “ If you look at the history of my drawings, you’ll see that they started off in the late ‘70’s working with graphite, charcoal, simple things, showing the glassblowers how to work, and they got more complicated.” – Dale Chihuly For Chihuly, drawing is every bit as natural as glassblowing. He works with acrylic paints, watercolors, ink, pencil, charcoal, graphite — even fire — to express his ideas with energy and exuberance. Chihuly’s Drawings range from light and ethereal to bold and colorful. Some, like Reed Drawing, which depicts the elongated and elegant form of his Reeds series, relate to Chihuly’s works in glass. Dale and Leslie Chihuly congratulate the JDRF Seattle Guild on 29 years of exceptional commitment to fundraising in support of diabetes research and for the powerful and compassionate impact they continue to have on the lives of so many.
