About The Artist

Shea Oberleuter

Glass Artist

Shea, a graduate in Glass and Glazing, offers a unique perspective on glass art. Inspired by her diverse cultural identity, she creates works that reflect her Indigenous, Asian and European roots, expressing her own distinctive voice. With a strong foundation in traditional glass techniques, she infuses her work with a fresh voice, blending cultural continuity with innovative ideas.

Currently pursuing her studies at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, Shea is on a journey to expand her artistic practice. She aims to explore how her creativity can intersect with architectural elements and evolve into sculptural forms, paving the way for a new lineage in contemporary glass art.

The word "Lewa," pronounced "Lay-Wa," carries deep significance for Shea, embodying various facets of her life, from her cultural roots to her family connections. It represents profound personal meanings and reflects the essence of her upbringing, making it a central theme in her work.
