Paul Spencer, known as “Paul Bead,” is a landscape painter with over twenty years of experience in glass art. His intricate, colorful glass beads blend traditional techniques with contemporary expression, reflecting his deep understanding of nature. Paul begins by painting landscapes directly from nature, using these works as blueprints for his glass creations. He approaches glass bead making with an intuitive, painterly style, capturing the rhythm and energy of the landscape through vibrant colors and textures. Inspired by Vincent van Gogh, and the Fauvre and Cobra movements, Paul aims to elevate bead making as a form of personal and artistic expression, creating “wearable landscapes” that connect people to the history and significance of glass beads in art and meditation.
