I am an Austin artist who utilized 30 years of stained glass crafting to pioneer and perfect a new art form. I use painted board and hand cut mirror to create vivid, iconic images of musicians, entertainers, historical figures, and Native Americans. An avid music fan, and a former resident of the Bay Area in it's musical heyday, I love doing the artists I was lucky enough to see live, from Hendrix to Joplin, to Muddy Waters and the Dead. All of my pieces are signed, numbered, and ready to hang, and I gladly accept commissions for specific subjects, and custom sizes.
I have executed many commercial decor jobs for bars, restaurants, and offices, and with the usage of colored mirror and selected paint colors, I am able to color coordinate any request.
My works are one of a kind, and after exhaustive searches of the internet, I can say I am the only one working with mirror in this manner. The images are deep and clear, and add depth to any room. They will be the subject of much conversation by those seeing them, and will amaze you as they change during the different parts of the day, and the light they are exposed to.
The pieces are made in sizes as small as 12"x12", and can be as large as 3'x4'.
