Crafting Toledo’s Future: Tess Healy

Fusing Glass and Digital Passion

Tess Healy is a glass and digital artist who focuses on functional, colorful, and technical work. Originally from Cincinnati, she graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2017 with a degree in Digital Arts. While in school she found glass and fell in love with the medium but continued with the digital program to follow both her passions.

Shaping Art and Culture

Tess moved to Toledo after graduating, going on to work at multiple glass studios in the area. One of those was the Toledo Museum of Art where she was the full-time Production Artist and led the GAPP residency program for three years. While working at these studios she also created 2D & 3D renderings of projects and photographed work to present to clients, as well as work as a freelance digital artist.

Currently she is working at The Arts Commission as the Momentum and Events Manager, celebrating and supporting Toledo’s art and culture. Her passion is practicing her crafts and continuing to learn and challenge herself.
