Royal is one of the most gifted glass blowers in the world. In his early years he was an integral member of Team Chihuly demonstrating glass blowing techiques at institutions around the world.
In his latest body of work, the Geos, the artist has sought to capture the qualities of kiln cast glass in his blown glass constructions. He has emphasized simple and subtle coloration and given the individual pieces a sculptural presence by referencing organic forms as opposed to utilitarian objects.
