We create one-of-a-kind Art Glass Windows
through collaborating with our clients – sharing our
ideas, processes, and resources developed over the last 52 years.

This blog is about my life in my studio over the last fifty-two years, exploring creativity and being self-directed. I’m sharing this because I am all too aware of the struggle it takes to go out on one’s own and make art one’s life work.

I hope that sharing my experiences will make your journey less complicated and more financially rewarding.

My concern for the future of artists and art drives me. That’s why my blog is free, ad-free, and interactive. It’s a space where we can all share and learn together.

Studies we create for our architectural projects. The frames are old, and the support glass is Lamberts, hand-blown glass from Germany, with cross-hatching striations.

Although we make some in a series,
each study is one-of-a-kind.

Art Nouveau Stained Glass Tree

A large window over a Jacques. With the pileated woodpecker as our focal point, we designed a tree that is overgrown and untamed, giving us a three-dimensional effect. This creates interest in the large area around the woodpecker, with the iridized glass picking up on the colors in the stone which surrounds it.

Amelia Presbyterian Church – Amelia Courthouse, VA

This photograph shows a third of the windows in this sanctuary. Using hand-blown translucent glass from West Germany, we could blend the trees and bushes on the exterior into our concept. The striations in the glass give movement to the windows as one walks through the sanctuary. This was my first completed church project.

Stained Glass Jesus

“Jesus Welcoming the Parish”

A window we created for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
in Burke, Virginia, beside their sanctuary entrance.

“This is not Norman Rockwell.”

The team.

Many, many years ago, I read an article about where to find the best barbeque in Arkansas.

“Heading south on Rt. 167, about 12 miles from Little Rock, you make a left on the first dirt road, past the abandoned Buick. Follow the road about 3 miles, and you’ll see a man sitting in his lawn chair, under a pole shed, stoking his fires.”

“No signage, no menu, no pricing, but somehow you know you’re at the right place.”

After moving from Richmond to rural Bremo Bluff, 41 years ago, this has been my business model.

If you would like to see more of who we are and our processes, please visit our blog.

Over the last 52 years, I have explored how Art Glass can be used in architecture,
from keeping historical processes alive to creating new ways of using our
skills and resources in a contemporary way.

I invite you to explore our extensive portfolio – our homepage is just a sampling. Perhaps there is a way we can collaborate, creating something exceptional for your home or sacred architecture.
