About: Dan Dailey (b. 1947) is an American glass artist known for his innovative lighting designs and sculptural works that merge fine art and functional form. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and later a student of Dale Chihuly, Dailey developed a distinctive style that blends bold color, whimsical imagery, and technical mastery in blown and cast glass. His lamps often feature hand-blown shades combined with custom metalwork, exploring themes of human figures, abstraction, and narrative illustration. Active from the 1970s onward, Dailey has worked with major glass studios including Venini in Murano, producing unique art glass lamps, chandeliers, and architectural commissions. His lighting designs are regarded for their vibrant, expressive qualities and integration of sculpture with utility.
