Jeremy Bert is a Pacific Northwest neon artist. Bert’s mixed media sculpture represents a strong commitment to re-usage. By re-appropriating the refuse of the sign industry Bert reclaims commercial waste and transforms it into something enriching for the community.
An early interest in Ceramics lead him to study Art at Alfred University, where he earned a BFA in 1994. In 1995 Jeremy moved to Seattle, WA where he has worked for over 20 years as a licensed sign electrician, certified welder, crane operator, light projects designer. Bert has taught neon workshops at Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood WA, UrbanGlass in NYC and Penland School of Craft in NC.
