Cover Artist: Dr. Christopher and Dianne Robinson

This month's cover art comes from Dr. Christopher Robinson and his wife Dianne of Edmonton, Alberta. The couple has been married for 33 years and during that time they have engaged in various artistic pursuits individually and collectively.

The artwork on the cover depicts an original composition of a kiln-fired fused dichroic glass pin. This material gains its vibrant colours from an aerospace coating that is applied to colourless glass in a vacuum chamber. Glass art has interested the couple for over 25 years. Originally drawn to flat, stained glass construction they are now more focused on hot glass.

Dr. Robinson is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is a past president of the Canadian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (CAOMS) and now serves as its executive director. He was a founder and first chair of CDA's Committee on Specialist Affairs.
