Southwestern Stained Glass
This custom commission is mounted high up on a 2-story high living room wall. The clients' wanted an artwork that would block out about 50% of the sunlight coming through this window. By selecting opaque and semi-opaque glasses, we were able to achieve their functional needs as well as giving them an impressive artwork to look at. This artwork is made with lead came. The outer edge is zinc came, allowing for adequate strength without the need for steel reinforcement bars.

Transparent Dreams Stained Glass
I have been making stained glass for 50 years, since I took it up as a hobby at the age of eleven. I have been a full-time stained glass artist since 1975. I've won numerous awards for both my design and my craftsmanship.
I have completed commissions throughout the U.S. and Canada, and shipped my ready-made artworks as far as Dublin, Ireland. I also teach my unique methodology for making precision stained glass in a 43-hour set of DVDs, and I have sold hundreds of these sets in 15 countries so far.
As a visual artist, I invite you to view my images and compare the design and craftsmanship for yourself. Whether you are considering the purchase of an already-made stained glass artwork or commissioning new custom stained or beveled glass, I am confident that I can address both your desires and needs.
