Avery has been devoted to glass since 1984. She has studied under many glass educators and has
attended Worcester Center for Crafts, Camp Colton, and the Studio at Corning, in addition to
taking private drawing and design courses. Avery�s work is primarily kiln formed, with an
emphasis on fusing. She specializes in surface treatments. Her work depicts animals and
investigates the spiritual connection between man and animal down through the ages. Indigenous
cultures are researched thoroughly for each piece. Her work is in collections across the U.S. and
Canada and is available in selected galleries. In 1999, she was nominated for a NICHE award in
fused glass. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including the books "Contemporary
Warm Glass", "Words and Images", and "Contemporary Glass: Color, Light and Form", as well as
publications such as "Glass Craftsman", "Cowboys and Indians", "Phoenix Magazine", "New Mexico
Magazine", "NICHE Magazine" and "The Crafts Report". Avery was a founding member of the
