Born and raised in New Hampshire, Rick Ayotte was always drawn to nature exploring the woods and waterways, and studying the animals. In 1978, he began to marry his passion for nature with his skills as a glassblower as he created wildlife art with glass. Today, his portrayals of nature in glass are renowned throughout the world and have been displayed in a number of museum collections.
In artful compositions, with just a handful of glass, Ayotte exhibits and preserves the truly unique and precious elements of nature.
