Grant Garmezy

Grant Garmezy is a professional glass artist based out of Richmond, VA. Originally from Nashville Tennessee, Grant received his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. Grant is known for
his natural lifelike glass sculptural work that can be seen both nationally and
internationally.
For almost ten years he has been making sculptural glass objects with
the intention of pushing the boundaries of glass sculpting to create something
new and original.
As an artist, he is constantly inspired
by his environment. Having grown up on a farm, he has always felt a connection with the land and the animals that live on it. Nature is truly perfect in its creation, impossible to reproduce. He does not strive to re-create the natural world exactly; instead trying to capture the essence of the animal when Grant is sculpting, not only in its physical features but also its attitude and spirit.
