Don't Miss These This Month

Thunderbird Artists: Featured Artists - Marilyn & Terry Alexander

Thunderbird Artists Gallery is proud to feature mixed media artists Marilyn and Terry Alexander this month. Masters of metal and guardians of glass, Marilyn and Terry transformed a post-retirement passion into a distinctive body of work in steel and fused glass design. Marilyn gravitates toward the forge, while Terry prefers the kiln, and together their talents merge in pieces that beautifully balance strength and color. Their work incorporates vivid acrylics and striking dichroic glass, creating art that shifts with the light and brings a dynamic presence to collectors’ homes—both indoors and out. Stop by to meet Marilyn and Terry, learn about their creative process, and experience their unique mixed media works firsthand.
