Unraveling expressive possibilities of the material has been a constant over a long career in the studio, and in service to the art glass industry in design and engineering. |

Levi gained national recognition for innovative and timely work in glass art and design in the 1980s and 90s. During the peak of the American Studio Glass Movement he was invited to exhibit at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, and the American Craft Museum in New York City (now the Museum of Art and Design), as well as earning the American Craft Council Young Americans Award and a fellowship grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work belongs to permanent collections of museums in Europe, Japan and the US.
