About the artist:

J.M. Fusions is owned and operated by glass artist, Jaime M. Lesourd.  

Growing up in San Diego, CA, my interest in art began at an early age. I took several art classes as a child. Later I began to experiment with acrylic (plastic). I was fascinated by the resemblance it had to glass and how the light would radiate through the colors. In 2009, the opportunity arose to attend a basic  glass fusing class.  Once I began selecting colors and cutting glass, I immediately knew I discovered my passion. I took a second glass fusing class a year later, this time working on my own projects. I knew that working with glass was something I wanted to continue to do.  In 2011, I was gifted my first kiln by my husband. In 2012 I opened my Etsy store and started off  making small dishes, coasters, and magnets.  As business started  growing and requests for larger custom work started increasing, I decided to enroll into several Interior Design courses. This helps me in designing beautiful pieces of art for a specific spaces in my customer's home.

In 2014, I relocated to El Dorado Hills, CA.  Since then I have expanded my knowledge of glass, learned new techniques and have turned my focus to larger custom pieces for residential and commercial commissions.

In June of 2022 we made some big changes. We became empty nesters and relocated to the Big Island of Hawaii. We built a glass studio on our property so I could not only have a space to create, but to also showcase my work in my small gallery.
