For Rick, this work is about more than just creating beautiful art. It's about honoring the memories of those who have passed on, and giving families a tangible way to hold onto their loved ones' legacies.

As for myself, I have had the opportunity to showcase my art in various countries and have worked for a diverse range of clients, including celebrities such as Lyle Luvit and Julia Roberts, and many others.

I would consider it a great honor to work for you and I promise to treat the entire process with the utmost respect and care. Rick

"After losing my loved one I heard about Rick Dodson. He took some of my beloved's ashes and put them into a glass heart I can wear and display. It Sparkles! So worth it and so affordable for this eternal keepsake."

"It is truly special to have the heart as a reminder of our good friend. I can keep his memory alive with this special piece." Conni
"A Story of Hearts. In 2020 my dear friend John passed of cancer. I had come to care for him during his last days here on earth. Rick Dodson is a very good family friend, John’s best friend, and an incredible glass artist. After John passed, he was cremated & when he was returned, we gave some ashes to Rick. Rick returned in a few days with beautiful hearts of glass, each had John’s ashes mixed in. They were stunning & where the ash was, there was an iridescent brightness that would flicker and change as you moved the heart around. We were so moved, there were tears & joy & celebration. Many of John’s friends, as well as family have received a heart. It is so wonderful to have a piece that you can hold and remember a friend while winding through the many stages of grief. Priceless and heartfelt pieces. Thank you Rick"
