Ryan James Fine Arts presents Sweet American Dream, an installation by Seattle-based Japanese glass artist Eriko Kobayashi, for its January Gallery Night. Inspired by childhood memories of discovering colorful American candies, Kobayashi transforms familiar sweets into playful works that explore nostalgia, cultural identity, and the allure of everyday objects. Blending technical precision with whimsy, her work invites viewers to rediscover ordinary pleasures through an unexpected artistic lens.
