Contemporary Stained Glass

We work in a studio environment where creativity prevails. Creating each window, one at a time by hand and eye, and guarantee that it will never be duplicated because we believe that our work is a tangible expression of our development as artists. We are happiest when using our minds and hands to explore our imaginations, giving us a deep sense of fulfillment.

The most exciting part of our work is creating an art glass window that starts with an idea, evolves on paper, and is then executed in glass. This is why we call ourselves artists/craftsmen.
