German-born artist Sibylle Peretti lives and works in New Orleans, LA and Cologne, Germany. She received an MFA from the Academy of Fine Art in Cologne and was trained as a Glass Designer at the School for Glassmaking in Zwiesel, Germany.

Peretti was the recipient of the United States Artist Friend Fellowship in 2012 and received grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation and Pollock- Krasner Foundation. She has been a Fellow at the Creative Glass Center of America (NJ) on three separate occasions and was an artist-in-residence at the Art and Industry program at Kohler Wisconsin. Her work can be seen in many public collections, including at the Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh, PA), Corning Museum of Glass (New York), The MAK (Frankfurt, Germany), Alexander Tutsek Foundation (Munich, Germany), John Michael Kohler Art Center (Wisconsin), Wuerth Collection (Schwaebisch Hall, Germany), Museum of Art (Montreal, Canada), Hunter Museum of American Art (Chattanooga, TN), The Ernsting Foundation (Coesfeld, Germany), Speed Art Museum (Louisville, KY), Tacoma Art Museum (Washington), Het Glazen Huis, Lommel (Belgium), 21century Museum (Louisville,KY).

One of the leading post-modernist artists in New Orleans, artist Stephen Paul Day lives and works in New Orleans. His recent work often mines fairy tales for themes such as truth and deception, beauty and beastliness, innocence and its loss. Day mines these themes for their symbolism as he explores the psychological, sexual, mythic, and moral subplots of folktales. His superbly crafted glass sculptures can be sharp and biting but other pieces can be both beautiful and whimsical.
