On extensive travels Simone Fezer worked as assistant to renowned artists and studied at various international Schools such as the Penland School of Crafts, and Centro Studio Vetro in Italy. She had a residency at the Tacoma Museum of Glass in Washington, USA in 2016, and at Gallery S12 in Bergen, Norway in 2020. 2019 she was awarded the Irvin Borowsky International Award of the University of Arts, Philadelphia. She has a Teaching Assignment for Sculptural Glass at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Germany, and exhibits her mostly large-scale installations in Glass and Mixed Media nationally and internationally.

In her work Simone Fezer addresses the fragility and interdependency of all life and aims to create interdisciplinary and immersive environments. She likes to work together with other artists, bringing together installation, performance and multi-media, creating stages for the viewer to enter and explore.
