Kreg Kallenberger has worked primarily in glass for the past 35 years. His studio is located in Oklahoma's Osage County in a turn of the century dairy ranch. He was a recipient of an NEA Artist's Fellowship Grant in 1984 and has exhibited and taught worldwide. His work is in the permanent collections of dozens of museums, including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the High Museum of Art, Hokkaido Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, Detroit Institute of Art, The Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Museum of Art and Design, New York, and the Museum of Design and Contemporary Art, Lausanne, Switzerland.
"Much of my work has focused on the theme of landscape. I have attempted not only to convey a visual image but also to express and suggest the experience of the landscape. The main component of glass sculpture - light - floods through the flat polished sides and refracts off the rough-hewn edges. Landscapes appear and disappear; become enlarged and reduced; and distort as the viewer circles the sculptures. My continuing aim has been to create forms that are sculpturally compelling, with the natural properties of glass serving that end rather than overwhelming the form".
