BIO

Liesl Schubel was born in Ontario, Canada in 1990. They received their BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2012. The folly of faithful recreation from memories motivates their work as a practice of collection and revision. They reveal entanglements of identity, home, environment, familial histories and relationships, and play with the confusions of their representations. Liesl is trained as a glassblower, having worked with glass for over 15 years, and incorporates a variety of other mediums in their work. 

Liesl is an artist, teacher, fabricator, and arts administrator. Recent residencies include time at WheatonArts & Cultural Center, UrbanGlass, and Pilchuck Glass School. They have exhibited work at Small World in Princeton, NJ, Frederick’s & Mae in Manhattan, NY, BWA in Wroclaw, Poland, and Putty’s Coronation in Brooklyn, NY. Recent teaching includes workshops at UrbanGlass, the Toledo Museum of Art, Glassroots, and Ox-Bow School of Art.

They are currently pursuing an MFA at OSU.
