Elijah Kell is a glass artist from Mint Hill, North Carolina. His love for art began in elementary school as an escape from his academic and social struggles. An introduction to glass at the age of 10 invoked a deep connection and passion for the medium, and he’s been developing his craft through self-study and experimentation ever since. As a dyslexic, imagery plays a huge role in his life and he loves transforming ideas into color, texture and form.
