Her work is in many public and private collections including the Corning Museum of Glass, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, and the Museum of Fine Art in Montreal. Laura has been honored with many awards, among them the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the Glass Art Association of Canada, the prestigious
