Career
Born in Exeter, New Hampshire, Storms attended Plymouth State University where he earned a degree in art, studio emphasis, with a minor in art history. After graduation, Storms was introduced to glass while working for a local artist. “The medium spoke to me, and I dove in - head first, I’ve never taken to anything like I’ve taken to this.” he said in a news interview. In 2004 the artist opened StormsWorks Studio, with the idea to give the cold glass sculpting process a new meaning, he believed that the art of cold glass sculpting needed more innovation. His first accomplishment was to create a cold glass lathe, where he was able to turn glass like one would turn wood enabling him to make shapes like eggs, wine bottles and baseball bats using the cold glass process, which otherwise would be impossible. "I use a cutting edge medium to make organic and familiar things," he explained about the process of turning glass on the lathe. The glass artist moved his studio to Valencia, California in 2013, where he expanded his operation and opened Storms Publishing, an art publishing company with his wife Vivian Storms.
