"George Bucquet makes what he wants, and if you like it too, well, that makes his job even easier. And Bucquet's "job," as he sees it, is not centered on selling as many pieces of his art as possible. Rather, as Bucquet states, "I try to stay focused on the work that is in front of me, or better yet, the work that is in me.. Of course I care very much if people are buying the work. However, it is important to keep in mind that selling the work is not the end, but the means."

Fortunately, Bucquet has had ample financial success and collectors' acclaim to keep his studio running. His cast glass pieces have found homes with the likes of Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates. He doesn't care much for throwing around those names, however, and is quick to point out that "they're just people and nobody's more important than anyone else who buys the work." Rather than dwelling on commercial success, which he says has come by the "Grace of God," Bucquet's priorities are on glass for the sake of the glass itself.

Bucquet's artistic journey began in Carmel, California, when he visited a prominent glass gallery and felt for the first time the excitement of blowing and creating artistic glass. From there he went to the Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle and then finally to Penland School in North Carolina, where he spent one year as a student and four years as a resident artist."
