Over the last several years, I have been creating unique and colorful mosaic, string and, one-of-a-kind plates, trays, standing and, hanging fused glass art. It’s satisfying to design distinct and vibrant art. I began making so much art and found it so fulfilling that I quit work to focus on starting my business, Imaj Art by Jami, LLC, designing and selling my art full time.
Classes at the Imaj Art Studio for up to 6 people at a time or at a location that works for you!

I am passionate about art and continue to learn and create unique, original works. As a fused glass artist, I use COE90 glass to create distinctive and colorful mosaic, string, and abstract fused glass designs, including trays, dishes, bowls, hanging pieces, and table art. I am inspired by photos from my travels to paint landscapes, and I continue to expand my knowledge and create abstract works as well.
