Leana Quade
Leana Quade has been manipulating glass for 19 years. She received her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2003. Quade has worked in many organizations including Pilchuck, Penland, Corning, Chrysler, Haystack and the Pratt Fine Art Center. Her work has been shown internationally, countries include Belgium, China, Italy, Norway and throughout the United States.
Quade’s approach to working with glass is investigational, often modifying traditional techniques to create work that reflects her individual style. Her artwork exploits glass and other materials inviting viewers to question the material and what they are seeing. “My goal in developing work is to inspire curiosity by revealing mystical properties of glass and mixed-media by shedding light on surprising characteristics/capabilities they have.”
Quade received her MFA in Sculpture in 2017 at Alfred University in upstate New York. She is currently resides in Norfolk Virginia where she continues her passion for teaching and sharing her love of glass while pursuing her studio practice.
