Welcome to Mimi Dream Glass!
Colorful fused glass creations
Hello, and welcome to our website which showcases the work of Michelle Halprin, Creative Director and owner of Mimi Dream Glass.
Michelle started painting with acrylics on canvas in the early 1990s. She paints in the impressionist style, and one painting was shown at the Thousand Oaks, California Library. Another painting was printed on an art card published by the Conejo Valley chapter of the American Association of University Women.
Drawing from her impressionist art roots, Michelle’s fused glass objects feature bright monochromatic or complementary colors. Some of her most recent objects are made with a variety of fused glass techniques. These plates, which work well in her mid-century modern home, incorporate custom-made glass, and layers of rectangles.
