Thank you for taking the time to look at some of my stained glass work.

I started studying stained glass design and production during my first year of college in 2000. I fell in love with the medium and have continued the pursuit ever since. I hope the passion I have in my work shows through in my designs.

abstract stained glass panel

"Bending Light"

I love playing with simple geometric shapes and creating complex pieces from them. In this design I was playing with varying colors as they entered and exited the prisms. Everything bends and contorts throughout—one of my absolute favorites.

Size: 2.5' x 2.5'

stained glass swirls

"Trapeze"

My inspiration for this piece came from Van Gogh's "Starry Night." I wanted to do something abstract but playful. When I finished, I got the impression of swinging trapezes.

bonzai stained glass panel

"Bonzai"

Asian art and caligraphy have always inspired me. I generally don't focus on representational pieces, but this one was a pleasure to make. The bamboo style border makes it all work.

landscape stained glass panel

"Sunscape"

The idea behind this panel was to cover up an obvious sun shape with subtle differences in gold and red tones. The end result was something that looked like a mirage, beautiful with light coming through.

callalily stained glass panel

"Callalily"

After going to a wedding filled with beautiful bunches of callalillies, I wanted to try using one in a piece. Instead of a traditional design focusing solely on the flower, I wanted to surround it with bold colors to make its simplicity stand out.

Size: 2.5' x 3.5'

eyeball mirror stained glass

"Eye of the Beholder"

I got so tired of looking at traditional, beautiful mirror frames, I wanted to do something out of the ordinary. It scares guests and keeps their bathroom time to a minimum—a successful piece.

Size: 2.5' diameter
