Crepe Myrtle Chandelier
A client bought a manufactured chandelier because the glass balls were exactly the type she wanted, but the armature was too clunky for her tastes. She asked me if I had any ideas to make it more elegant, and I suggested using a natural tree branch as a structure to hang the balls from. We decided on a crepe myrtle branch. I was able to adapt the lighting hardware from the manufactured chandelier to attach to the crepe myrtle branch. We collaborated on many aspects of the design, and she was very pleased with the result.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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.
