Welcome

I’m Zora Neuhold-Huber, an artist based in Northern California who’s primary medium is glass, using a simple but unusual systems of joining hand blown, and stained glass as well as reclaimed mirror and architectural glass.

My artistic roots trace back to my father’s wood shop, my mothers weekend painters co-op and a chance encounter with the glow of hot glass furnaces on a late night walk in my college town of Madison, Wisconsin. Earning a fine arts degree there in 1985 I launched into a lifelong fascination with all glass and this unusual way of working with it.

I taught glassblowing and design at Punahou Academy in Hawaii and then started a family. The art became very private, inward and primal as I transitioned into teaching yoga as my primary source of income.

In 2016 life took a big turn, I got very ill with a mysterious illness (eventually diagnosed as neurological Lyme disease). Unable to continue teaching yoga, I leaned into my art to help me understand how to survive. And now, 10 years later, my art has become the primary way I harvest insight and resilience to help me cope. It’s helped me see that life can feel simultaneously shattering and beautiful…just like the glass I love so much.

It’s a privileged to still be alive, to tread this creative path and now become more public with the art. And I hope you might find it of interest or inspiration. Please be in touch.
