Margaux Jones is the creative spirit behind LightMiner lamps and candle screens. Jones originated a completely new way of putting images onto acrylic panels that are then assembled into their final forms. The Seattle-based artist creates the art for her designs and on occasion uses plants and flowers or photographs as a basis for the lamp panels.
For those who love DIY, HGTV.com has Margaux’s ‘how to’ instructions for crafting image panels and making a candle screen using her techniques.
