  • Smithsonian Craft-Optimism 2021

    by Mira

    I’m soooo soooo (soooo) excited to be announcing that my work has been accepted into Smithsonian’s Craft-Optimism, a curated, climate-conscious makers’ market. It was no easy feat to be included, so I consider it a great honor. Each of the 100+ artists had to be nominated to enter, then pass through a rigorous jury prior to acceptance. The result? The best of the best...

Creating the piece involved many many layers of mixed media, metallics and glass. It is large and striking with glints of metallic that sparkle and change as the viewer moves about the room. Prairie Sunset Measures 49″ wide and 37″...

    Design Challenge Accepted

    by Mira

    When I was contacted by one of my favorite designers regarding a possible project for a hospital chapel, I was thrilled. A healthcare facility in the greater Chicago area was finishing a new addition to their campus that included a chapel and needed artwork for the chapel entrance wall. There was only one small catch . . . the wall was convex. This is...

  • Dynamic Spectrum Window

    by Mira

    Named for their vivid coloration and dynamic movement of light, “Spectrum Windows” are created from kiln-formed, metallic foils, and mixed media. Because they are highly reflective, light bounces in and out of each textural piece, changing throughout the day as lighting changes. The piece showcases the artist’s signature textural kiln-formed reclaimed glass and an array of vivid coloration in deep layers that stun. It...

My Philosophy

I am in love with the idea of reclaiming the unwanted and refinishing it into gallery-ready works of art. To me, this speaks to a basic truth of the inherent (and sometimes secret) beauty in everything. There are many “reclaimed” goods on the market, which is great for the environment. But, I believe the object comes first.

In other words, I want the viewer to fall in love with the beauty of the object first. A certain optimism is conveyed when the viewer learns it was resurrected from rubbish. This optimism is what my work is all about.  It’s never too late for anything (or anyone) to be remade.

My Materials

Almost all of my works are created from reclaimed glass.  I gather old windows, shelves, shower doors and partitions from all over Northern California.  Once back in my studio, I deconstruct the glass – either by smashing it or cutting it up into small pieces, then reconstruct it into the works you see on this website.

I do not consider myself a “glass purist.”  Specifically, it is not important to me that my work be made entirely of glass.  For me, it is most important that each piece reach its full potential.  To that end, I utilize multiple mixed media techniques to realize my glass vision.

I treat every commission as a collaboration.

Large or small, I treat every commission as a collaboration. My experience with commissions extends from projects as large as multi-panel installations for public and corporate spaces to as small as the perfect vessel accent for an interior design project.

Through years of working with art consultants, interior designers and individual homeowners, I have developed a step-by-step commission process that puts the vision of each of my clients first.  Not exactly sure what the vision is just yet? My process can walk you through that too.

Check out the recent finished commissions below and email me for an Information Sheet that details my commission process!

Testimonials

" Mira, my husband and I just received your Coronado bowl...a 25th wedding anniversary gift to ourselves. Just wanted to share how much we love it! Photos don’t do it justice as you can’t appreciate the texture and the way light makes the glass glisten and change. Thank you for your wonderful imagination and artistry. And I love your story about being in San Diego for a visit by the sea with those you love." - SM from Alexandria, VA

"I just wanted to let you know that I was recently in the new Meehan wing of Milford Hospital in Milford, MA and as I was exiting, I was stopped in my tracks by the gorgeous piece you did for the emergency waiting room. I cannot put into words how it made me feel and I would not even begin to try to describe to you the beauty of the piece. It was so striking, however, that I kept repeating your name in my head until I got to my car where I could write your name down so that I could search for your art. I obviously found some. Your glass art is so interesting and I like the unique quality of each piece." - CG, from Milford, MA

"I love this artist, she's the best to work with and her pieces are stunners! Thank you, again, for another wonderful experience." - J.M. from Troy, Michigan

"Everything about this incredible piece of art was perfect! The piece itself is gorgeous and unique. ... I love my new beautiful piece of art!" - K.B. from Richmond, Virginia

"Mira made the entire buying process enjoyable. I was unsure about buying such a specialized piece sight unseen, with the exception of the photos from the store. . . My daughter and I opened the box today. This piece of art is breathtaking. Both my 14yo daughter and myself are so proud to display this beautiful bowl in our new home!" K.G. from Blaine, WA

The Smithsonian #craftoptinism is just around the corner!
A sea of blue, green and teal ... just like the ocean.
Prayers, affirmations, Mantras & Wishes .... they all have a place in the Elemental Bowls. I made these bowls for people who are ready to elevate their deepest desires to a place of importance in their space because I believe those desires are at the core of who we are. It’s elemental to the human experience.
Whew! Today was busy. This space looks so relaxing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little detail on a Saturday morning, I think these textures and colors match my mood.
The pedal is to the metal preparing for the Craft Optimism show put on by @smithsoniancraftshowsswc! This piece is something new for me. It's an oblong piece that sits atop a wood stand. Both the glass and the wood are reclaimed. Perfect for displaying on a low coffee table, swipe right to see the interior details.
This is the Sutter Creek Bowl. I named it after a small gold mining town that is near where I live.
I’m soooo soooo (soooo) excited that my work has been accepted into Smithsonian’s Craft-Optimism, a curated, climate-conscious makers’ market.
Help! I always like to pick a piece of jewelry from every batch. the first set match my glasses, the second pair match my eyes, and the doubles remind me of Frieda.
Friday vibes, right? This water reminds me of fresh fired reclaimed glass. I’m so ready to just dive in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teal backed by copper and silver, all on a ball chain. Summer ready! 🌊
“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"...
