Born in Jamaica, Hugh Findletar had a childhood filled with Caribbean legends and traditions. His underlying Jamaican imagination and culture, further translated into his artistic works today, gives his pieces a distinct style and character. Findletar grew up in New York City and he started out as a photographer by trade.
At the same time, Hugh Findletar nursed a passion for horticulture, inherited his beloved great-grandmother. He discovered the art of glassblowing during a trip to Kenya and that began a long-standing exploration into glassmaking, marrying the finesse of this Western craft with the expressive force of African art. Findletar sought the knowledge of this ancient art form, finding himself in Murano, Italy - the home of the world’s best glass artisans.
