Jasmine Steinacker is a glass artist from Ridgewood, New Jersey. Originally, Jasmine started her art career in photography. She pursued the arts at Virginia Commonwealth University, where Jasmine received a Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts in Photography + Film, as well as Crafts and Materials Studies with a focus in Glassblowing. In the arts program at VCU, one is required to take a course outside of their major. For Jasmine, that was glass blowing. Steinacker was “bit by the glass bug” and became infatuated with the material. Steinacker explores photography and glass blowing and uses them in tandem with each other; creating objects inspired by food, nature, and the people who surround her.
