Combining energy, passion and personality, Samantha Fuller's glass creations are elegant and highly original.

Born in Los Angeles, she moved to Paris at age 7 with her filmmaker father and actress mother. Samantha travelled throughout Europe, North Africa and Japan as well as attending the Sorbonne.

Her affinity for glass art became apparent at age 8 during a trip to Murano, Italy where she encountered glass blowers fot the first time.

In 1997 Samantha moved back to California and met Swiss artist Beatrice Tepsdorf who introduced her to the art of glass fusion. During her apprentiship she produced collections for clients such as Tiffany's and Barney's.

In 2002, Samantha decided to devote herself to her own creations and her remarkable work was enthusiastically received at the Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York Gift Shows.

Today, Samantha Fuller Glass Designs can be found in prestigious stores, galleries and museum gift shops across the United States, Japan, and soon to come, Europe.

Samantha's workshop is in the heart of the Hollywood Hills where she cuts, polishes, assembles and gives life to the glass. Her unique shapes and designs are inspired by the special light of the Pacific Coast.

Her multiculturalism flourishes in her eclectic art creating a soulfulness which is universal in its appeal.

"Color, light and energy are the keys to describing my art.
The fluidity and the purity of the glass is what attracts me"
- Samantha Fuller
"Light cannot be reproduced, it must be represented by something else, with color."
- Paul Cezanne*
* P.Cezanne is a formidable thinker about what I would call-- first questions: "What is light? Color? Volume? Composition? He seems to investigate the hidden laws of what we see and pays alot of attention to what the Japanese would call the Thingness of the object. What makes it unique, of its own nature, timeless in time.
