Wild Goose Creative is proud to present August's 2026 Wild Gallery exhibition, featuring Cliff Lewis.

Cliff Lewis works with milled and scavenged wood, blown glass, and found objects, exploring themes of ancestry, mortality, and transformation. A descendant of carpenters, clockmakers, and windmill builders, his creative life is grounded in a deep lineage of craftsmanship. Living with incurable cancer, Cliff brings urgency and clarity to his making, creating pieces that grapple with impermanence while celebrating connection and resilience. Humor and collaboration, particularly through the communal nature of glassblowing, infuse his process with vitality. Cliff holds a B.F.A. in Glass from The Ohio State University and returned to the studio and hot shop after 37 years to work in glass and sculpture. His sculpture, The Tower of Babel, was recognized by receiving the Wild Goose Creative Art Show Award at the Ohio State Fair Professional Division Art Competition. Cliff recently had work in the Ohio Arts Council Biennial Show at the Riffe Gallery in 2025. Cliff lives and shares a studio with his wife in a rural area in Union County, Ohio.  He enjoys woodworking, gardening, literature, historical study, model railroading, cooking and down time spent with his many cats.
