LeQuier received his Bachelor of Science from Southern Connecticut State College in
1975 and subsequently became an instructor there, later accepting a position at
Penland School. His work is can be found in many collections, including that of the High
Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, and the
American Glass Museum of Millville, New Jersey. His work has been shown across the
U.S. in more than thirty exhibitions. “My work,” he writes, “is inspired by the drama of
everyday events in the natural world where weather and time are catalysts for change.”

Piece of the Month:
“Slipstream” by William LeQuier

Kenn Holsten:
“Slipstream” by William LeQuier is a truly unique and beautiful work. The transparency
and intricacy of this work set it apart from other works of contemporary glass art. The
delicate interweaving of strands of glass create a feeling of organic, almost mystical
complexity. One marvels at the dexterity and creative depth of the artist.

Jim Schantz:
“Slipstream” is a remarkable example of William LeQuier’s work. It is amazing how
LeQuier can transform plate glass material into flowing undulations of forms. The work
seems to almost float in air and defy gravity. We feel very fortunate to be representing
this accomplished artist again in the gallery.

Mary Childs:
With “Slipstream”, Bill LeQuier does the impossible:he captures the essence of a
moment of movement and air in glass.
When looking at this sculpture, one can almost feel the breeze on one’s face as the
clouds race overhead.

Stanley Wooley:
The wonderfully lyrical form of Le Quier’s ” Slipstream” fills me with the rhythmical flow
of wind and water.
