Rodman Gilder Miller

Dr. Rodman Gilder Miller carried on the organic style of his great-grandfather, Louis Comfort Tiffany, when he came to creating original glass art.  Rodman brought to his own works an incredible gift for color and for experimentation with tints and lusters.  After a career as a cellular biologist, Rodman switched gears to take up the family tradition of making glass.  He started with neon, and it was there he grew skilled with the less stable shades of red.  As he moved into art and architecture, Rodman created many pieces of public art, on display in Seattle, Washington, Taiwan and elsewhere.  Rodman also taught many other glass artists, in the skills of blowing glass and the use of colors and finishes.  In 2021, Rodman passed away, after a long fight against cancer, and leaving behind family and friends – and his own far-reaching legacy in glass.
