My stained glass art, is an extension of myself. Not just an expression. It's the part of me that words can never express.

Stained glass is by far my favorite type of art to create. The uniqueness of each peace, textures, colors, designs...it all comes together to create timeless pieces.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration daily. It's the small things. The changing colors of seasons. Walking by a tree just as an autumn leaf falls. Listening to someone strum a guitar or sing a note. I find inspiration in the small pieces of life that are so present in all our lives but are so often passed by. Those are the things I pay attention to and draw inspiration from.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put $25,000 towards building a business for myself. Establishing a studio to work in and a place to hold classes. Stained glass s a dying art. I don't only create, I also repair and restore antique pieces and church windows. The need for skilled artists that do the same type of restoration and repair work is so important. History is written in glass and we need to work hard to preserve it.
