She is one of the first in Denmark to be part of the glass art movement, devoted to designing and fabricating public art, using her mediums glass and mosaics. About her work she says, “Public art is a duet with architecture an inspiration for the viewer and a poetic dimension to a space”. In her more that 50 public art commissions in Europe and United States for schools, Universities, public squares, City Halls, senior centers, libraries, public swimming halls etc., she uses stained glass, painted/ tempered glass, sandblasted glass, and mosaics with many different variations of methods, always trying out new solutions.

Edwin and Mary Scheier began producing ceramics shortly after getting married in 1937. Recognition of Edwin’s large decorative vessels and Mary’s elegant functional ware came quickly, and by the 1950s the Scheiers had established themselves as leading American ceramic artists. This portfolio contains four photographs by collector/photographer Robert Mapplethorpe of ceramics from the 1950s through the 1980s and 4 photographs by Eeva-Inkeri of two paintings, a woven hanging and a sculpture, a total of 4 pages of text and the 8 loose photographs in a custom made portfolio with a Scheier work on the cover in black and white. A short biography provides details of the Scheiers’ training, their work as art professors at the University of New Hampshire and their relocation to Mexico in the 1960s, along with information on exhibitions and awards.
