Missouri Forest
Handmade in Kansas City, Missouri by Cara Humphries Studio L.L.C.
Privacy was of utmost importance since the floor plan of the home allowed for a unhindered view into two floors. At the owner's request these entryway panels were created to capture a Missouri forest scene for his lake house outside of Kansas City. The flora and fauna depicted in these panels were meticulously researched through the Missouri Department of Conservation to ensure they're native species. The home owner's personal aesthetic leaned toward the romantic landscapes of the 19th century Hudson River School painters.

Meet the Maker
Cara Humphries
Cara Humphries Studio L.L.C.
After graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute I finished with an MA from the University of Kansas and completed a 2 year apprenticeship. I established the art glass studio in 1995.
Since that time I have created pieces for private homes, public and liturgical spaces, as well as outdoor public memorials.
I am fascinated with light and manipulating its effect on the surrounding environment.
I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to create pieces that capture the essence of the space they occupy and the energy the client wants to achieve in the space.
I am very interested in working outside my hometown and will relish any opportunity to do so.
Customer Reviews

Apr 11, 2020I have thought I left this review more than once, but am back because I want to express how happy I am with Cara's work. I'll admit to being a very difficult customer for this project. I made color and design suggestions that Cara dutifully carried out all along the way only to have me not like my own ideas. The final agreed design is not only better than when we accepted the project, but makes me smile every time I see it. The color choices and small craftsmanship details are really wonderful and I love the result. I'd highly recommend Cara for your project.
