WELCOME to this online portfolio, or visit me for real!
It's my annual
Open Studio on May 26th & 27thI make stained glass windows from a mosaic of mouth-blown colored glass. Each individual piece is hand-painted and kiln-fired several times to fuse the imagery permanently into the glass. Painted pieces are fitted between lead channels, soldered and puttied. I use brushes, tools and materials largely unchanged since Medieval times.
You can watch
the latest video of me glasscutting and painting a portrait of Sir Edmund Hillary. Check out my
Menfolk series; and
12 raccoons for an astronaut in an Airstream trailer.
View my religious commissions, including two 25ft windows for
Marble Church in NY City and take a tour of
St Mary's Cathedral, Portland, Oregon.
See work for
