Marilee began her professional glass art career as a

volunteer at Louisville Glassworks. In 2005 she

joined the management staff at Glassworks as

Director of the Tours & Activities departments and

subsequently as Director of Glassworks class

programming. In November of 2007, along with

Rhonda Snyder and the Tour staff, she opened the

Walk-In Workshop at Glassworks, bringing cold and

warm glass activities to the forefront of the Louisville

Glassworks experience. Marilee retired from the

Tours and Walk-In Workshop in August 2008 to

focus on her own studio work, opening Marilee

Glass Design, LLC. Her work focuses on warm glass,

using the kiln to create jewelry, plates, bowls and

other fused works. Her innate sense of balance,

harmony and symmetry are evident in her design

work.

Marilee enjoys sharing her knowledge and is happy

teaching others the joy and satisfaction of creating

with warm glass. She currently teaches glass jewelry

classes at the Glassworks Walk-In Workshop in

Louisville, KY.
