Creating stained glass and using my late fathers tools is a way for me to still connect with him.

Stained Glass and continuously learning First Nation form line.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from the vivid northern landscapes and my Indigenous heritage. My work uniquely integrates Northwest Coast form line into stained glass, an innovative fusion that has established me as a distinctive voice in contemporary Indigenous art. Mentored by my father, Bruce Tessaro—a stained glass artist with over three decades of experience—I learned my craft through years of hands-on guidance, shaping my skill and deepening my appreciation for the medium.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000.00 to build an art studio, where I could create and teach stained glass. Create a space where people can come learn everything I know about this art medium.
