I am inspired by the process of creativity.  Compelled to move forward, and push boundaries I live and work way outside the box.

I am a kilnformed glass artist.  Pushing boundaries and crossing mediums.  Glass is both a science and an art, a combination I find most intriguing.  Experimentation and improvisation are key, creating scientific challenges to the artistic process and vice versa.  The transparent quality; the depth of a piece, working in different layers, anticipating the light that reflects through those layers brings me back again and again.

The organic process that emerges with kilnformed glass is filled with endless possibilities affirming my belief that we're all infinitely creative.

I delight in the unknown.

I currently live and work as a creative artist in Portland, Oregon.  I have a BFA in Theater Arts and I teache creative improvisation classes privately and in the corporate world.  I am currently hard at work building a kilnformed glass empire which includes a line of glass jewelry allowing me to create wearable, accessible art.  Visit www.laurajamesdesigns.com to see the latest works.
