Real Glass Neon Art &
Custom Commissions in Los Angeles

Original artwork in hand-bent glass, painting and light.

Los Angeles artist Missy Sunseri creates original real glass neon art, illuminated sculpture and mixed-media works that transform drawing, handwriting, portraiture and language into light.

Her neon practice includes hand-bent glass neon sculptures, neon on canvas, illuminated objects and site-specific commissioned artwork created for private collectors, residential interiors, interior designers, architects, hospitality environments and select creative projects.

Existing works from Sunseri’s neon collection are available for acquisition through Duroque, while original commissions may be developed directly with the artist’s studio.

Material & Gesture

Real Glass Neon as Fine Art

Sunseri approaches neon as an artistic medium rather than commercial signage.

In many works, a line begins with the artist’s own hand—a drawing, handwritten phrase or portrait—and is translated into real hand-bent glass neon. The physical glass preserves the movement and individuality of the original gesture before transforming it through illumination.

Other works combine real glass neon with acrylic painting, canvas, mixed media, found objects and sculptural forms, allowing light to become part of the composition itself.

The result moves between drawing, sculpture, painting and light.

The Studio

Original Art Commissions

Missy Sunseri accepts select commissions for original contemporary artwork, including paintings, mixed-media works, sculptural pieces, real glass neon, illuminated objects and site-specific installations.

Each commission is conceived as an original work rather than a reproduction of an existing piece. A project may begin with an idea, emotion, architectural setting, color direction, scale, material or conversation with the collector or design professional.

Commissioned works may include acrylic paintings on canvas or board, mixed-media artwork, sculptural assemblages, illuminated sculpture, real hand-bent glass neon, neon on canvas and works combining several materials within a single composition.

Painting & Material

Commissioned Paintings & Mixed-Media Art

Sunseri accepts commissions for original acrylic paintings and mixed-media artwork developed within her established artistic language.

A commissioned painting may respond to the scale, atmosphere and architecture of its intended setting while remaining an original work by the artist.

Depending on the work, Sunseri’s practice may incorporate acrylic, pigment, metallic elements, pattern, layered material, ornament, texture and other mixed-media processes.

Commissions may range from intimate works for private collectors to larger pieces conceived for residential, hospitality and architectural environments.

Objects & Form

Sculptural Art Commissions

Sunseri’s commissioned practice also extends into three-dimensional and sculptural artwork.

Her existing birdcage works demonstrate one direction within this practice: found or sculptural forms are transformed through color, material and illumination into one-of-one artworks.

New sculptural commissions may be developed in response to an idea, object, space or architectural environment. The intention is not necessarily to reproduce an existing cage sculpture, but to use Sunseri’s established language as the foundation for a new original work.

Painting & Light

Custom Neon on Canvas

Sunseri creates original works combining painting and real hand-bent glass neon.

For select commissions, a painted or mixed-media surface can be developed together with an illuminated glass composition so that the painting and neon function as one artwork.

Color, scale, composition, handwriting, imagery and the relationship between the illuminated line and painted surface may all become part of the commission.

These works can be considered for private collections, residential interiors, interior design projects, hospitality spaces and other select environments.

Illuminated Objects

Custom Neon Clock Commissions

Sunseri’s illuminated-object practice includes neon and illuminated clock sculptures, where the familiar form of a clock becomes an original contemporary artwork.

Select custom neon clock commissions may be considered, with the artist developing the composition, color, illumination, scale and visual character of the piece.

Existing works such as Yesterday and Time Is Luxury demonstrate different approaches to the relationship between time, found or vintage objects, illumination and sculpture. A commissioned clock would be conceived as a new artwork rather than a reproduction of either existing piece.

Hand-Bent Glass

Custom Real Glass Neon Art

For collectors seeking a commissioned illuminated work, Sunseri creates original real glass neon art using hand-bent glass.

A commission may begin with the artist’s handwriting, a phrase, drawing, portrait, symbol, concept or entirely new composition.

The resulting work may become a standalone glass neon sculpture, handwritten neon artwork, neon on canvas, sculptural illuminated object, large-scale wall work or site-specific installation.

The objective is original contemporary art—not mass-produced decorative signage.

Los Angeles & Beyond

Art Created for a Particular Space

Commissioned artwork can also begin with the environment in which it will live.

Sunseri may work directly with collectors, homeowners, interior designers, architects, art advisors, developers, hospitality teams and creative professionals to consider scale, proportion, color, viewing distance, architecture and placement.

The resulting artwork remains distinctly Sunseri’s while responding to its intended setting.

This may include commissioned artwork for Los Angeles and West Hollywood residences, hotels, restaurants, hospitality projects, commercial interiors, events, film and television environments and other select creative spaces.

Shipping & Delivery

Available Beyond Los Angeles

While Missy Sunseri’s practice is based in Los Angeles, inquiries are not limited to Southern California.

Available artworks and commissioned works can be shipped, subject to the requirements of the individual piece and destination. Because paintings, real glass neon, illuminated objects and sculptural works may require different packing, crating, freight or installation considerations, shipping and delivery arrangements are confirmed for each artwork.

For larger or site-specific commissions, fabrication, transportation and installation requirements can be considered during project development.

The Artist’s Line

From Handwriting to
Hand-Bent Glass

In Sunseri’s text-based neon work, language does not begin as a typeface.

It begins with the artist’s hand.

Words and phrases are drawn by Sunseri before being translated into individually bent glass tubing. The process preserves the rhythm, imperfections and character of handwriting as a physical line.

“Handwriting becomes drawing. Drawing becomes glass. Glass becomes light.”

Painting & Illumination

Neon on Canvas

Sunseri also creates original artworks that bring painting and real glass neon together within a single composition.

Rather than treating illumination as an addition to a finished painting, the neon line becomes part of the artwork’s visual language—interacting with pigment, surface, color and material.

Works including Love, Electric Love, Life Is Beautiful, My Eyes Found Yours, My Rock N Roll and YOU + ME demonstrate different relationships between illuminated glass and the painted surface.

These works occupy a space between contemporary painting, mixed-media art and illuminated sculpture.

Beyond the Wall

Sculptural Neon & Illuminated Objects

Sunseri’s practice extends beyond conventional wall-mounted neon.

The collection includes freestanding neon sculpture, sculptural birdcage works and one-of-one illuminated objects, including Birdcage Couture, Erotic, Le Jaguar, Yesterday, Time Is Luxury and Very Demure.

These works explore what happens when illumination becomes part of an object—changing how its form, material and surrounding space are perceived.

Art & Architecture

For Interior Designers, Architects & Hospitality

Original and commissioned artwork can be considered in dialogue with an interior or architectural environment.

Sunseri works with design professionals to consider scale, proportion, color, placement, sightlines and the relationship between artwork and surrounding architecture while maintaining the integrity of the artist’s visual language.

Projects may range from an intimate artwork for a private residence to a large-scale or site-specific neon installation for hospitality, restaurant, hotel, commercial or creative environments.
