is an artist known for her innovative approach, blending various glass techniques with other media. She discovered her passion for glass while studying metal and foundry processes at the Kansas City Art Institute during her undergraduate studies. The sensual and organic aesthetic of glass resonated with Chesler in a way that metal did not. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in the swamps of Florida, she incorporates the chaotic elements of nature into her art, fusing biology and botany to create forms that seduce and engage her audience. Chesler has received accolades such as being a 2019 Pilchuck Emerging Artist-in-Residence, a 2020 Hauberg Fellow, and a recipient of the Saxe Emerging Artist Award in 2021. In 2022, she taught as an instructor at Pilchuck Glass School and was featured in a solo exhibition, titled Untamed: The Anatomy of Desire, at the Center on Contemporary Arts in Seattle.
