A Superhero In Stained Glass
I do not have a decent photo of the full artwork, but I wanted to post this detail photo here to show an example of how precisely tailored a stained glass gift can be. This custom commission was made for a boy's bedroom. That is one lucky boy! This hanging artwork was constructed with copper foil. The superhero emblem on his chest was made by sandblasting red-on-clear flash glass, then soldering a second layer of yellow glass behind the red glass. The size of this circular artwork is about 20 inches.

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.
