Bio for Wanda Kehlenbeck Tyner

Wanda’s nature-inspired kiln-formed glass artwork combines her passion for world adventures, hiking and kayaking with imaginative, innovative, colorful and sometimes whimsical kiln-formed glass art.  Wanda manipulates and forms glass into shapes with heat, flow, dimension, patterns and texture bringing vibrant colors to life.

Wanda’s journey as a glass artist started with a desire to understand how the glass art in her home collection was made.  After an extensive introduction, she was fascinated with the science of glass, the technology and skill required to achieve endless creative possibilities.  Wanda continued her training with many well-known glass artists from around the world.  She spends extensive time studying, experimenting and creating.  Wanda applies the same creativity and innovative solutions to her glass creations as she did during her career as a technology executive.

In addition to fine art sculptures and wall hangings, Wanda creates vessels, bowls, vases, tableware, garden art, clocks and jewelry.  Wanda showcases her kiln-formed glass art in Art Galleries, Juried Art Shows and Booth Art Fairs. Wanda’s work has won awards at exhibitions and art fairs and is included in several international collections.  She resides and kayaks at Raintree Lake in Lee’s Summit, Missouri with her husband.

Wanda is a juried member of Images Art Gallery, Summit Art organization and Missouri Artisans Association D.B.A. Best of Missouri Hands.  She is an artist member of Kansas City Artists Coalition.

Wanda is currently serving on the Board of Directors for Summit Art Organization and Best of Missouri Hands.
