Deborah Moore - Blue Lady SlipperIf you want to be inspired by a wide array of creative works, spend a day at SOFA, the International Exhibit of Sculptural Objects and Functional Art, held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. Under one roof, you can see paintings, glass sculpture, jewelry, furniture, ceramics, metalworks, and mixed media.   

Deborah Moore is one of the many glass sculpture artists at SOFA. She's inspired by exotic flora as shown by her glass work, the bewitching hyper-realistic blue lady slipper orchid (see photo above). Other sculptures from her include the cattleya orchid and other rare pieces.
