Kimberly Huffman Perry

Throughout her life, glass has held a special fascination for Kim.. From the delicate blown-glass swans she admired as a girl to the beauty of old cathedral windows transformed into keepsake boxes, glass always felt both mysterious and meaningful — something capable of holding light, memory, and wonder all at once.

Creativity was part of her from the very beginning. As a child, she made small creations from twigs and moss while camping with her family. She kept journals, wrote poetry, loved design, and even began helping create jewelry designs while working in a jewelry store during high school. Yet like many artists, Kim was raised to believe that art was something you pursued on the side, not something you built a life around.

That changed after marriage, when the routines of daily life left her longing for a creative outlet again. While visiting an antique store with her mother, Kim mentioned how much she wished she could learn stained glass. Her mother’s simple response — “Well then, learn” — became the spark that changed everything.

After finding a former stained-glass teacher willing to take on one last student, Kim fell in love with the medium immediately. She knew she had found the place where all of her creative instincts had been leading. What began as an interest quickly became a calling. She devoted herself to learning, creating, and eventually acquiring her teacher’s inventory when her mentor stepped away from the craft. Kim began selling her work at art shows, building both her skills and her voice as an artist.

Later, after stepping back to focus on family, she felt called to return to glass once again. Not long after, her life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the midst of treatment, uncertainty, and the demands of caring for her young children, glass became more than an art form — it became part of her healing. After her first year of survivorship, her husband built her a full-sized studio, a gift that became both a sanctuary and a new beginning.

During treatments in Houston, Kim became fascinated with fused glass and began learning the process, adding an entirely new dimension to her work. In fused glass, she found another language for light, texture, color, and movement. Today, her work reflects both her stained-glass roots and her mastery of kiln-formed glass, with a special love for flowers, organic forms, and the beauty of nature. Her pieces often feel luminous and sculptural, blending delicacy with strength in a way that is deeply personal to her story.

At Studio Luna Louisiana, Kim creates sophisticated fused glass art, stained glass, custom commissions, and one-of-a-kind works that sometimes incorporate vintage elements. She also shares her knowledge through teaching, helping other glass artists learn the techniques and artistry behind her work. The studio is further enriched by the craftsmanship of her husband, whose custom stainless-steel stands and display pieces provide an elegant architectural complement to the glass itself.

Kim believes glass was part of God’s plan for her from the beginning — a source of beauty, purpose, healing, and joy. Today, the studio is more than where she works; it is where she creates beauty from fire and light, and where she hopes others will find joy, peace, and inspiration in the work she shares.
