Who Am I? Sculpture

Miri Admoni is a mixed media, glass, and jewelry artist living in Selma, Oregon. Miri grew up in Israel and art was part of her life since childhood. Her formal education was in graphic design, where she has worked as a freelancer, designing and producing unique paper products. During 2004-2010 Miri has studied various glass techniques, and In 2011-2012 she studied metalsmith in a private studio, and started to create jewelry with glass. Nature is always the greatest source of inspiration. At that time Miri was inspired mostly by her surroundings in Israel, the desert, which led to the creation of the Alchemy glass series and the collaboration with Bedouin women artists. Her work shows the many contrasts that exist in nature and life: order & chaos, obvious & hidden, transparent & opaque, fragile & durable. Miri channels the natural world into her work by translating personal memories and experiences into emotional, abstract, and landscape expressions. She reminds us that although it’s often times a mystery to us, everything in nature has a reason. Creation teaches her to follow her intuition and her heart, to do what she loves. It always gives her hope.
