Steve Heine

I’m the eighth of nine kids, the second-born of identical twins and the father of two smart, beautiful daughters. A late-bloomer, I returned to school as an older student and graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Architecture. I opened my studio, Cranium Glass, in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1998.

Some of the concepts that interest me are the creative process—the mindful emergence of the made object—the balance between the enigmatic and the intelligible in visual abstraction, and the in-between space. I’m fascinated by the interaction of color, light and shadow.

 An architect by education, I embrace the ethos of Mies van der Rohe—one where “less is more” and “god is in the details”.

My focus: distinctive, thoughtful designs, remarkable materials and exceptional craftsmanship.

I’ve received past support from the Kentucky Arts Council and the Great Meadows Foundation.

Potential clients are always welcome to my home studio/exhibition space. I can be reached at 502.931.7564 or craniumglass@gmail.com.
