Margie Trembley

Margie began her career in glass art after taking up glass beadmaking as a hobby.  She immediately fell in love with all art glass mediums.

Her art work today has progressed to architectural and sculptural glass. Her largest architectural glass project was etching and carving 12 windows for a senior care retirement center in the Chicago area.

She has been fortunate to learn from some of the top glass artisans from the US, UK, New Zealand and Japan.  While serving on the board of directors of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers as their international representative, she had an opportunity to develop relationships with other glass artisans from around the globe — by both working with many of them within the organization and visiting studios in the UK, France and Japan.

Recently she has ventured into wearable art and silk painting after being exposed to those mediums in the Chicago area.  Even though she has not given up designing, etching and carving glass, her main current interest is in wearable art.

Margie has exhibited her art work in the following exhibits:
