Perla Segovia's Profile

Bio

Perla Segovia was born in Lima, Peru. During her early childhood she lived throughout Peru, from the big city, to the mountainous rainforest, to the dessert coast. At the age of 10 she moved to the US with her family and lived in rural North Carolina. Perla's travels did not end in the US, after graduating from North Carolina State University she took a position as a handbag and shoe designer in Peru. Here is where she immersed herself back in her native culture, and got introduced to fused glass. After a few years of living in Peru, Perla moved to Italy and traveled around Europe. She learned Italian and got a fashion design degree. Perla has also lived in Puerto Rico, Utah and now resides in Missouri with her family. Perla's love for travel play a definite role in her curious nature which in return has played a big part in her artistic development. Her designs are often influenced by colors found in nature and by the diverse landscapes she recalls from her travels. Perla's professional training is in textile design, she holds a Bachelors of Science in Textile Technology from North Carolina State University. She also holds a fashion degree from Istituto Callegari in Italy. Furthermore, she has extensively trained in the art of glass fusing and it is in this wonderfully manipulative medium where she incorporates her knowledge of weaving and patternmaking to make woven glass sculptures.
