Artist Wesley Thurston creates glass sculpture that evokes the natural world. His experience growing up in the Redwood Forest traveling and scuba diving inform his artwork. Now residing in Asheville, Wesley enjoys sculpting a variety of forms but finds the liquid nature of glass is particularly suited for creating aquatic forms.

Wesley has studied at Corning Museum of Glass, Penland School of Craft and Pittsburgh Glass Center with notable glass artists Micah Evans, Janis Miltenberger and Chris Ahalt among others.
