A miniature 3D art diorama on a tiny person sitting on a bench, with the text "We are all destined for greatness, just for some of us it's taking longer than anticipated" written behind them. 

This sentiment celebrates us at every stage of our lives, capturing our aspiration for greatness, but with a twinkle in the eye.

Lisa Swerling’s Glass Cathedrals are a series of dioramas created over the last 20 years in California, Cape Town and now London.

“I was given one of your beautiful pieces a few years ago... very excited to pass on the delight I experienced, by gifting my own…” Rachel B, NYC
