I made this for the front door of my home. There is glass mosaic on both sides of a sheet of clear window glass. I printed my last name directly onto the window glass under the mosaic glass.

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 Charisse's Art & MusicWe are just amazed at the quality of David’s work. From the beginning to the end he exceeded our greatest expectations and created a work of art that will be cherished for generations.
This was a project with great emotional significance for our family and David’s approach from the start assured us he understood that and every step of the way he proved it couldn’t have been in better hands.
David maintained close contact throughout the process, invited our input and even invited my daughter and her family to his studio to see the project as he was creating it. He went above and beyond every step of the way to assure it was exactly what we wanted.
I can’t recommend him highly enough and we definitely plan to utilize his amazing talent in the years to come. Thank you David!

For Custom Stained Glass SignsI would definitely work with David again. I have to admit that usually I don't order something site unseen or out of state without seeing similar product or visiting site locally so this was a reach of faith. David took my vision and created a great stainglass restaurant name piece for me. Once approved, he kept me in constant updates on the status of production and showing images as the product progressed all the way to finish. It was easy to pay and go through Custom to work with him and pay. He probably packed the sign which is very delicate better than I've ever seen anything packed. I can't wait to get my new location open in Chicago and put up this piece of Art.

For Slumped Glass LampshadesWe are delighted with the two custom glass slumped shades that David made us. They were to replace two that were broken and look wonderful.
David was easy to work with and communicated every step of the process providing photos and updated information.
All in all it was a positive experience. Thank you for our lovely shades!
