Sue Regis is the owner and glass artist at Regis Glass Art

I interviewed her about being an artist for 20 years and a small business owner for the last 10 years.

Some of my favorite things about Sue in list form are:

· She struggles with dyslexia but that hasn’t stopped her from running a successful small business for the last 10 years

· Billy Corgan once bought her work at a Chicago arts festival

· Her instagram bio says “I’ve been melting glass for 19 years and I learn something new everyday” and she swears that’s true.

· She teaches classes in her studio every week to anyone who wants to learn glass sculpting techniques.

· Sue has made a name for herself making glass vaginas with real, found animal teeth. She started her vagina series after The Vagina Monologues commissioned her to make glass pieces that corresponded with their Chicago performances.

· Sue is most known for her memorial work in which she preserves cremains from a lost loved one or pet into glass for the grieving.
