New Double Up Piece

New J.P. Canlis glass artwork on view in the gallery!  Perfect for a residential or corporate installation, Nanakuli Double Up, one of the new pieces in the gallery is a rich emerald that reminds J.P. of the beautiful waters of Nanakuli Beach on Oahu.  His Double Up series showcases the power of water building on top of itself when one wave catches up to another and creates a larger than usual wave.
