Maine artist, Laura Fuller lives and works in Portland, Maine. She grew up in Bath, Maine and has also lived in Paris, France.

Laura has been working in stained glass twenty years. She began putting three-dimensional objects in her panels while still in school. When discouraged by her instructor from this innovative technique, she committed to the craft of incorporating found objects into her complex glass pieces. Each unique relief expresses not only her story, but also that of the objects incorporated within.

For Laura, each object is a reflection of the complex narrative of life-- past, present and future:

"Life is change. That is the only reliable certainty. It is constantly and continually progressing and altering. Unexpected and uncertain in outcome, it is certain in process.

Objects are our representatives. 'Living' solid, fruitful, domestic, useful lives: indepently functional. These objects, having given 2 to 200 years of faithful service, became hidden. In drawers, closets, dumps, underground, and in the ocean --waiting.

Now newly born, part of a different whole. Suspended to be gazed at, in reverence. In honor of their, and our, past lives. The beauty is in the years of touch as marked by many hands. The experiences portrayed trigger memories, of events lived and imagined. And of what will become."

Laura was a founding owner of the Hay Gallery in Portland, Maine and now has the Laura Fuller Glass Design Studio and Gallery on Munjoy Hill in Portland.

"We are constantly shedding our skin. We never stop growing and learning. Change is the only constant. Beauty is in the years of touch as marked by many hands."

Exhibited: The O'Farrell Gallery Brunswick ME, The Patricia Carega Gallery Sandwich NH, Cry of the Loon Gallery ME, Vincent's Ear Gallery Blue Hill ME, Hay Gallery Portland ME, Harbor Square Gallery Rockland ME and others.

This site is dedicated to the eternal spirit of Laura's daughter, Delaney.
