Robert Held

By most people's standards, Vancouver-based artist Robert Held is a modern-day Renaissance man. Held's nearly 40-year career has been shaped not just by his experiences, but by successes with many different media. A brief stint at a commercial glass factory brought him an understanding of business, and led him to open his own glass business (Robert Held Art Glass), which has prospered for nearly 20 years.
