About

My objective is to give the cut lines a purpose and have them add flow and movement to the design. The love of the outdoors and of nature's critters, beautiful blooms, and foliage have been my inspiration. It was only fitting that I combined my love of nature with my love of the color and light of stained glass in my glass works. My art career started as a painter, thus I like to think of my work in glass as if I am painting in glass. So I named my studio "The Art Of Glass". I work my panels on a large light table where I can monitor how compatible each new selection of glass is with the rest of the glass in that panel and how they all react to the play of light passing through them. When buying glass, I hand pull each sheet to make my selections. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I am at the glass warehouse. When I look at a sheet of glass it tells me what it wants to be.
Along the way I have studied with well known glass artists. Subjects ranged from stained glass design, composition, construction, and reinforcement for architectural use and how to use fusing and sandblasting techniques for modern glass. I have made stained glass panels from as small as 6 inches square to as large as 5.5 feet by 7.5 feet. Some only consist of few pieces; others have many hundreds of pieces. This allows me to provide the pleasure of owning and enjoying a piece of stained glass at a price compatible for each and everyone. With each project I strive to improve my skills and produce a piece of art to be enjoyed for years to come as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
Magic Happens when you add rays of light dancing through the vast variety of glass and colors available. I have fallen in love with stained glass.
