Andrea Raffo’s creative path hasn’t followed a single medium — it’s followed a calling. From photography to graphic design, through the culinary arts and the quiet mastery of motherhood, she eventually found her way to glass — where light, heat, and patience merge to tell stories only time can shape. For the past 15 years, Andrea has been immersed in the world of fused and cast glass. Each sculpture is a slow alchemy: beginning with clay, evolving through molds, then spending days inside a kiln — a place where precision meets unpredictability. One power outage, and the whole piece could be lost. It’s high-stakes, delicate work. But that risk is part of the magic. Inspired by nature, water, and the moods of the earth, Andrea sees stories in textures, shadows, and light. A bent branch might become a curve in glass. A breeze might turn into a sliver of reflection. Her sculptures play with transparency and imperfection — exploring fragility, erosion, and the quiet beauty of things that are both breaking and becoming. One piece especially close to her heart began with a 3D-printed mold and grew into a meditation on emotional and environmental decay. The forms suggested wounds, cells, landscapes — layered, complex, and deeply human. Like much of her work, it doesn’t demand explanation. It simply invites you to feel. Spontaneous and soulful, with a wicked sense of humor and a deep love of water, Andrea brings a sense of wonder and weight to every piece she makes. Sol Gallery is proud to welcome her and the quiet brilliance of her glass to the collection.
