Meet Alex Heveri
Tucson-based sculptor and full-time defense attorney Alex Heveri has spent more than 30 years working in steel and glass, creating monumental sculptures inspired by the natural world.
“The experience of viewing light through colored and faceted glass is like watching fire. Light captivates the viewer like nothing else. Whether in windows or in sculptures, brilliantly colored glass stirs up positive emotions and is simply mesmerizing.”
— Alex Heveri
Over the past five years, Alex has created more than 100 monumental sculptures, many standing more than 12 feet high. Butterflies, dragonflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators take shape through steel and thick, faceted glass selected for its color and its ability to capture light. As the light changes throughout the day, so does the experience of the sculpture.
Glass In Flight brings Alex’s love of nature, insects, glass, and monumental sculpture together in traveling outdoor exhibitions created for botanical gardens, zoos, arboretums, and public spaces
Through Glass In Flight, Alex invites visitors to slow down, look closer, and experience both familiar and often-overlooked creatures with a renewed sense of wonder.
