After shuffling some graphite around on a piece of paper, I came up with this design for a pantry door and transom. It’s for one of the large, old, beautiful homes in The Fan, in Richmond, VA.
I’m going down for a visit this Sunday to review some color samples to see how they work in the opening. There’s a small window in the back, that lets in a little bit of daylight, which may give us exactly what we need. However, “I never know until I see it.”
By the time we design, select glass samples, and have the approval from clients, we are usually halfway through the project. Even after starting the project, I’m free to make slight changes as I see how the materials work together.
I’m very proud to carry on the tradition of the Artist/Craftsman. It gives me great satisfaction to see my work, often as a focal point of architecture, and know it is the result of my creativity, developed after almost 50 years.
