Close up of stained glass cherry blossoms in mosaic glass and pressed flowers.

The goal: a pair of pieces to represent roots in one country and growth in another. Each panel contains stones and pressed flowers of both. The ray through the center unifies the fauna through the light of one lens. #stainedglass #glassart #mosaicglass #cherryblossoms #flowers

Ohmigoodness!! I LOVE it there- that’s a beautiful backdrop. Wow!!

It’s a blend of foiled/solder and mosaic glasswork! I’m going to add some pressed cherry blossoms and stones from Columbia, then do a resin pour to set it all in place. Total experiment. 😆

Stained glass panel of bird of paradise and cherry blossoms, with clear outer sections and a beam of color through the center- all the fauna is colors of bird of paradise flowers, including the cherry blossoms.

Both pane designs for the Columbia/D.C. stained glass panels of bird of paradise and cherry blossom flowers.

Just finished the first of sister panels, meant to represent the commissioner’s family roots in Columbia while growing herself in D.C.
The other panel will be mirrored but using cherry blossom colors for the fauna in the center beam. #stainedglass #glassart #mosaic #blueskyartshow #peaceful #roots

Coming from LITERALLY my favorite artist, this is one heck of a compliment! : )
Thanks, Adam! 🥰

Rainbow glass from “The Yes Beast”

“The Yes Beast.”
One of the only pieces I’ve made specifically for my own windows. Built on an old storm door and filled with broken glass, hopeful insistence, and hidden trinkets. (Dog for scale. ;) #blueskyartshow #windows #stainedglass #glassart #mosaic #creativity

Capturing in glass the moments of love we share with each other. #stainedglass #glassart #love #weddings #art #creativity #inspiteofitall #februarty #blueskyartshow

I really love this design! Can’t stop looking at it.

“Tempest in a Tree.” I installed this 7 years ago into a tree taken out by a lightning strike, and today the last piece of the wooden frame finally disintegrated into nature, leaving behind the blank canvas of an empty tree husk. #stainedglass #glassart #tornado #nature #circleoflife #lightning #art

This is really captivating!

Seeing first light through a finished glass piece is always such a thrill. :)

This is unreal. Amazing. Love the progress pics.

Two stained glass silhouettes, comprised of small inserts of blue and gray color to create the impression of faces in the void.

Simple silhouettes.
Empty space is often where art tries the hardest to grow.

I love everything you’ve posted!! Just ordered a calendar. Fantastic work!!!

I love how the eye travels- really stunning work!

Crafting table with a large coffee mug labeled “wild filly” next to an unfinished glass silhouette of two faces nose to nose, emulating a black and white photo of the silhouetted forms.

“Alex & Olmsted.” Some glass transforms when the light hits it- just like people.

“The Embrace”
Stained glass interpretation of a friend’s full body paint photography session. He didn’t actually meet the other model until they arrived on site. Unique type of intimacy.

I love the perspective on this!

Thanks! I love the erratic uncertainty of if/how film will take the double exposure- and the anticipation of having to develop everything before catching a glimpse, just to see if it even captured! :)

This is superb- I love the expression.
