Ann Gardner (born 1947) is an American glass artist known for her large-scale sculptural and architectural installations.
In 1974, she received a degree in Ceramics and Fine Arts from Portland State University.
[6] During her second residency at Pilchuck, Gardener developed techniques that lead her towards the use of largely monochromatic glass tiles (tessera) and mosaics.
[6][7][8] She is best known for using these techniques to create large-scale architectural installations and sculpture, such as Convergence, Lebeg, and Earth, Fields, Forest, Night, Sun and Water.
[16] In 2011, Gardener became the first mosaic artist to receive the Rakow Commission for her work Five Pods.
