Therman Statom is a sculptor, glass artist, and painter. He is most notable as a pioneer of the contemporary glass movement for his life-size glass ladders, chairs, tables, constructed box-like paintings, and small scale houses which are created by gluing glass plate together.

His early interest was in ceramics but he turned to glass after an experimental glass blowing session with Dale Chihuly made him appreciate the spontaneity and limitless possibility of the art.

Throughout his career, public artworks have been permanently installed at prominent locations including the Los Angeles Public Library, Corning, Inc. Headquarters, the Mayo Clinic, San Jose Ice Center, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Jepson Center for the Arts in the Telfair Museum, Savannah as well as several hospitals across the country.
