Fused glass work is my primary focus, but I also work in leaded stained glass, found object sculpture, large abstract watercolors, and acrylic painting. I use glass to make custom lighting fixtures and chandeliers. Most of my material is scrap recycled from local leaded glass businesses. Musical themes predominate, but I am open to other imagery. I am able to incorporate text and personal photographs into my custom work.
In addition to glass, I make custom or reproduction lead castings for use with leaded glass panels.

For Kiln Formed Baptismal BowlDavid is a true artist. He spent a great deal of time up front to make sure he understood what we wanted. He experienced some problems because of the complexity of the piece but he communicated constantly about timing and what we expected and wanted in an end product. We were so satisfied that we recommended him to our Property Chair to do some work on our stained glass windows at our church.

For Shelley's ChandelierDavid was a dream to work with. I gave home the concept and he was off and running. The finished piece is the centerpiece of our home. He was super creative and the communication was excellent every step of the way. I highly recommend David. His work is exceptional and you won't be disappointed.

For Slumped Glass LampshadesThis was the first time I used CustomMade, and I was very pleased with the results of my project. I had a pair of broken slumped glass lampshades that I wanted to recreate. David provided a detailed description of the process he would use to create new lampshades for me and an approximate timeframe. He communicated with me each step of the way and provided pictures of how my lampshades were progressing. When he hit a snag, he let me know how he was going to address it, always communicating along the way. The result was a beautiful pair of lampshades that were nearly identical to the original broken ones. I greatly appreciate his talent and his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the project met my expections. If you're looking for an experienced artist to complete a quality project for you, I highly recommend David.
