This stained glass artwork was commissioned for a kitchen pantry. Although the clients sent a photo of the door, it was not a good enough photo to show it here. But I show this pre-installation photo to you because it is a great example of stained glass in a setting where no light will come through the artwork. A low-light or no-light situation requires different glass choices. Generally, this means semi-opaque or totally opaque glasses. Cathedral (= see-through) glasses tend to look dark when little or no light is coming through them. Opaque glasses show their colors well when light is bouncing off the front surface of the glass so light coming through them is not necessary. The lettering on this artwork was done with sticky vinyl.

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.
