| My stained glass is made with ancient techniques as well as contemporary methods.
I have invented ways to manipulate and enhance the glass by kiln firing . A combination of paint glass powders and frits are fused onto stained glass to acheive special effects and details. Custom windows,doors, cabinet inserts and lighting fixtures are a specialty of the studio.
What sets my stained glass apart is my passion for the landscape in art. I call this work Glass Scapes. Many of my works are derived from my paintings and experiences with nature.

| This little detail shows the natural colors and forms typical of one of my pieces. It is a study for a larger commission. I expect to complete in the spring of 2018 . Please stop back to check on the progress. |
|
| It's all in the detail. Painting, enamaling and kiln firing of the glass
create a sense of depth and color.
I incorporate many ancient and contemporary glass working techniques in my work. These are inspired by the great Tiffany windows of the turn of the last century.

|
| To create a "Glass Scape" takes many hours of crafting. I often refer to my paintings and landscape studies for ideas. After the design is finalized the glass is selected , cut , painted and some pieces kiln fired. The glass is then fabricated and leaded in the Tiffany tradition. I use hand rolled American glass and visit the factory to select glass that has the right density and blended color combinations. I utilize the glass as a brush stroke as if I am painting with glass. The works are used to enhance windows, doors, sidelights and other architectural elements in homes and places of business.

Most of my "Glass Scapes" start with a sketch . The sketch goes through stages of develpopment and eventually becomes a refined blueprint to work from. This creative stage is critical as it serves as a roadmap to the end work. It gives the client a feel for what the finished work will look like. Types of glass and construction methods are also decided at this point.
