About The Artist
Melissa Schmidt’s glass studio is in her backyard in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Raised in Hawaii and San Francisco she has always felt at home in the artistic
world. She is prolific in her glass jewelry.
Recently her work has included sculptures as memorials. Love of working
small and past life interior design principles of scale, texture, balance and
color inform her compositions.
She is known for her whimsical feminine aesthetic and soft palette. Her
incorporation of unusual materials such as 35 mm slide film, papers and
natural materials within the glass bubbles are just the tip of her vast mixed
medium artillery. Her pieces are built to last and as strong as they are
beautiful.
Melissa's work has been included in the Racine Art Museum’s 50 years of
studio glass exhibition and permanent collection as well as SOFA Chicago.
Her pieces have been in Glass Quarterly’s 2022 Fall edition and Vogue
Singapore's September 2021 edition. She is being represented by Rebecca
Myers Collection in Baltimore, Maryland, Gravers Lane Gallery in
Philadelphia, PA. , Bubble Street Gallery in Sausalito and Montague Glass
Gallery in San Francisco.
