Duke The Beloved Bulldog
World meet Duke. Duke meet the world. This charming little bulldog was my first pet portrait. This 13.5"x17.5" panel is constructed in the Tiffany copper foil method and framed in sturdy zinc framing material. Strong hanging hardware has been soldered into the frame and as usual, chains and hooks have been included for hanging. The first step in the process was determining a size for the panel. Duke's owner took a good look around his house and decided in which window he wanted the panel to hang. That helped determine the size. Duke's distinct markings allowed for a very distinct pattern. All of the focus is on Duke with the background serving primarily to highlight the glass chosen. There are more than seven different types of glass used on Duke alone, plus the glass for the collar and the background. Though difficult to see, the glint in Duke's eyes and his name on his name tag have both been hand painted on and fired for permanence. I just love Duke's little underbite! Please ask me about designing a pet panel for you.

Whether you are looking for something to brighten up a window or upgrade your kitchen cabinets, stained glass should appeal not only to your sense of aesthetic, but should ignite your imagination. I'll have done my job right when my glass sings to you.
You may choose from one of my pre-designed panels or I can create something just for you and for your space. All pieces are created using the Tiffany copper foil method and, when appropriate, are framed in a rigid, metal frame with sturdy hangers built in to each piece. Wood framing is also available upon request. As a special thank you, I also include hooks and chain so that you'll have everything you need to display your art.

Sep 16, 2018The finished stain glass of our family crest was absolutely beautiful. Monique was able to capture our family crest exactly as the picture we sent to her. Monique communicated with us throughout the project and was able to meet our expectations and more. We were particularly fortunate as we were able to make a day trip to pick up our family crest. It was a true pleasure to meet Monique in person. She is a wonderful artist and human being. It was our pleasure to do business with her.
