Deborah Czeresko

Deborah Czeresko has been a glassblower/artist for 19 years,
starting in 1987, most of those years living and working in New
York City. She
began working with glass following completion of her Bachelor of Arts in
psychology at Rutgers University
in New Jersey. She started by focusing on Venetian
techniques, studying with several masters of the material, including William
Gudenrath, Lino Tagliapietra, Pino Signoretto, Dino Rosin, and Elio Quarissa. Now, her artistic philosophy combines two
basic points: everything has an essential, inescapable nature; and, balance
equals harmony. Using this inspiration,
she makes work that is directly influenced by the material. Deborah has exhibited extensively in New
York and Louisiana. Her work is included in the permanent
collections of the Glasmuseum Ebeltoft, in Ebeltoft,
Denmark and the Frauenau
Glasmuseum, in Frauenau, West
Germany.
She has received several full scholarships from Pilchuck
Glass School
and from Tulane University,
where she received her Master of Fine Arts.
Deborah has received a fellowship from Metropolitan Contemporary Glass,
and residencies from Appalachian Center for Craft and Bild-werk Frauenau. In addition, she has been teaching and
lecturing for 16 years and her work has been featured in several well-known
magazines, including Interior Design,
Dwell Magazine, House and Garden, and Glass Magazine.
