Artist Statement:
So, one day my friend messaged me with this amazing picture of a parrot she saw hanging out on the street in London. All I could think was that I had the perfect glass!
I set about sketching and designing this 2 ft parrot, which has 74 different pieces of glass to create its feathers and all its details. I hand-painted all the details onto the face. I love the dark mottled purple tones of the beak and claws (though they’re hard to photograph!) and all the fabulous turquoise shades and the little flecks and red and orange.
He looks magnificent in a window and hangs very majestically.Â
Stained Glass Parrot – Artist
Laura Kriefman stained glass artist works primarily with painted and lead light and painted glass in her work, which ranges from large architectural works to small works of art.
From her studio in Dawlish, Devon Laura either works on her own pieces or on glass art commissions which can be done on-site or remotely.Â
Despite its two-dimensional nature, Kriefman loves the medium of stained glass and utilises it to its most creative.
Lead light stained glass enables her to bring both her love of movement and colour to her works through the precisely cut compositions of glass pieces.
Stained glass is an inherently colourful medium that allows the artist to tell their story in a multitude of ways, with vibrancy, depth and great fluidity.
In 2024, Kriefman won the Amanda Moriarty Memorial Award and was also accepted into the Green Hill Arts Biennale
