Artist Statement
Meera Singh is a proven rebel. Playful and joyous in conversation, direct and determined in her pursuits, Meera exudes the root fearlessness of a game-changer. An immigrant; an entrepreneur; a pilot; a winemaker, a sommelier, a mother; and of course, an artist: these are just a few roles Meera has played in her life.
Meera has found that fusing glass offers her the authenticity she desires of painting and the weight and transparency she loves in glass. Her pieces are transparent canvases, worked with metal, mixed media, and with etched or painted strokes to produce luminous and multi-dimensional effects.
