To Dwight Bryant, glass is not transparent. It is filled with color, light and beauty, especially after he gets through with it. And, if you have a piece of Dwight’s artful yet functional glasswork, you undeniably agree. His glass is not only a work of art but is highly functional - food and dishwasher safe.

John Collette Fine Art began in 1991 on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. The present Highlands gallery opened in 1995. The gallery has become a major art source, not only for the Highlands plateau, but for the entire southeast. Our focus has been to present a variety of genres by local and national artists of repute working in innovative as well as time-honored techniques. These include both emerging artists who continue to grow and explore new frontiers, as well as established painters and sculptors whose works are part of major private and public collections.
