Stained
Glass
From 1986 to 1996, my main artistic focus was
working
in stained glass. I produced nine stained glass windows and
approximately
35 reproductions of Tiffany stained glass lamps. My sense of color,
developed
from painting, was a major asset in selecting colors for the stained
glass
works. While I enjoyed working in stained glass, I have now returned to
my first love, that of painting.
