'Paul Stankard has established the standard by which we judge contemporary paperweight art. His creativity in producing the lampworked elements goes far beyond simply evoking nature realistically; his work evidences originality, whimsy and poetic vision in addition to technical mastery which places him in a class by himself.' - Dwight P. Lanmon, director, winterhur Museum, Garden and Library, and former director of The Corning Museum of Glass
