Stained Glass Portrait ‘Framed on The Train’ by Laura Kriefman

This stained glass portrait started life as a quick sketch from a reflection on a train window.

A bright characterful piece that will add a lot of interest to a white wall of sunny window.

Artist Statement

This self-portrait began as a speed sketch of myself mirrored in a train window. I turned glass into my canvas again, exploring how the textures and colours could enhance the glass painting details

Stained Glass Portrait – 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. 

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

Before she was Laura Kriefman glass artist, Laura was an acclaimed dance choreographer, with many awards under her belt. For over 20 years she created and delivered projects worldwide.
