Biography:


After years of working in different media, Sherry Selevan discovered fused glass in 2006. She brings all of that experience into her work in glass. In addition, her background in science gives her insight into the behavior of glass when heated and manipulated.  She has studied with nationally and internationally-recognized glass masters.  Her work is sold at ArtfulHome.com and galleries in the Washington, DC area. Her work has been exhibited in invitational and juried shows, has received awards, and recently was a Niche finalist.
