My name is Haley Jelinek, and I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2014 from Alfred University, where I specialized in glass and sculpture. For the past seven years, I've been living in Asheville, North Carolina, pursuing my passion for glassblowing. As a full-time artist, I work out of multiple studios in western Carolina and have had the opportunity to showcase my work throughout parts of New York, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

My art is inspired by the relationship between humans and nature, and I strive to create functional glass pieces that have an organic feel. I find inspiration in the beauty of the natural world and aim to incorporate that into my work. It brings me joy to see people using and enjoying the pieces I've created. I am proud to be a glass artist and grateful for the opportunities I've had to showcase my work and share my passion with others.
