Glass artist Polly Gessell’s exquisite work first caught my attention during the North Dallas Artist Studio Tour in Preston Hollow. Her delicate, ornamental details and designs are reminiscent of art nouveau palaces or chic art deco nightclubs. Impressively eschewing computerized aids, Polly sandblasts it all by hand and eye. We met for a talk at the Highland Park residence of Brad Batson, a longtime fan of her work who has many examples in his home.
