Sien van Meurs (born 1953 in Landsmeer, passed away 2018 in Almelo, both in the Netherlands) was a Dutch glass artist. A hallmark of Sien van Meurs’ work is the combination of glass with stone and metal.
She studied at the Stockholm Art Academy in Sweden, and at the Orrefors Glass School in Sweden, as well as at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in the Glass Atelier in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She served as head of the glass department at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland, and taught at institutions in England, Sweden, Canada, and the USA.
Sien van Meurs’ first exhibition was “Via Venice to Ebeltoft” at the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in Denmark in 1997, and her last exhibition was “A Selection from The Permanent Collection” at the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in 2010. While Sien van Meurs is most commonly exhibited in Denmark, she has also had shows in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands, as well as in Michigan, USA. Her works can be found in, among other places, the Museum of Glass Art in Ebeltoft, Denmark.
