Randa Cherry earned her Fine Art degree from Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri, in the late 1970s. After a 30-year career as a medical massage therapist, she discovered glass fusion in 2008 during a class at the Regional Ceramic and Glass Fusing Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. When she later moved to Mérida, she found a used kiln, gathered materials, and taught herself to refine the craft. Her fused-glass work has been shown at SoHo Galleries, Le Cirque Galería, Galería Amanecer, and in various Mérida venues.
