Artist Statement

My fascination with stained glass began at a very early age when I gazed at the beautiful stained glass windows in the church I attended. I knew that some day I would learn the art and satisfy my curiosity about painting with glass. I am now in my 13th year of working with stained glass, and am also creating art by fusing/firing glass in a kiln at very high temperatures until it fuses, or melts, together.

My work includes hundreds of custom windows for businesses, churches and homes including Frank Lloyd Wright reproduction windows using lead came, historic restoration of antique leaded windows, sidelights, cabinet doors and three large windows for the Wesleyan Church in Denton, MD. I was commissioned by the Hon. Chancellor William Chandler to create three large windows for the main courtroom of the new Court of Chancery on the Circle in Georgetown, DE. The main window was installed in time for the dedication of the courthouse in July, 2003, and the other two were installed in 2004.

If you are considering a stained glass window, have a window that needs repair or are in need of a very special gift, I will be happy to work with you.
