Cameo glass, paintings, and more…
For more than 25 years, Galería Azul has been the working studio and gallery showcasing the cameo engraved blown glass art of artist Greg Dietrich. It still is that, but is now also where you can appreciate the artwork of his wife, Liliana Macotela.
The gallery, occupying the ground floor of their downtown home, is now a unique experience where you will encounter a wide variety of artwork created on premise by either of these talented artists. Hand blown engraved glass vessels, lamps, clocks, and more… accompany the many paintings, embroideries, handmade journals, and other one-of-a-kind artworks.
