Do you have an idea you'd love created on glass? Perhaps you have an opening or space that poses a unique challenge? You've come to the right place!
With over 22 years experience in creating glass etchings and carvings, I can take you from the germ of an idea through the finished product. With an additional ten years of painting and drawing, I have strong skills in design. I do all my own designs. I base them on your requests.
I'm fascinated with glass and use this fascination for your benefit. I want to develop your ideas to the full potential of the media and the technique. It excites me to see each section of the image appear beneath the blast of granules of sand as I work. When I am finished I can't wait to show you what we have created together.
I specialize in custom quality work. This means the design is an important part of the finished piece. A fully developed design is important for a high quality etching or carving.
Do you have a piece of glass or an opening that you have an idea for?
Etched glass is used for many purposes. Here are just a few:
|
- to provide privacy, yet allow the transmittance of light
Living spaces and entryways often require more privacy.
- to enhance personal spaces with images of special significance.
Bedrooms and offices are ideal for this.
- to block an undesirable view- maybe your neighbor’s house is too close? Maybe a window looks out onto an alleyway? Why not look
at something beautiful while still enjoying the transmittance of light?
- as attractive room dividers or partitions
- in a lighted base as an elegant night light- adds a dramatic touch as you walk from one room to another.
- in French doors, entries, sidelights
- on anything glass, large or small
- as gift items in small frames.
- A distinctive skylight, sometimes artificial skylights are created with specialized lighting.
- to visually enlarge and enhance a room with a decorative mirror
- ornaments- often purchased in quantity as thank you gifts by individuals, realtors, corporations.
- awards- to commemorate events. Often I'm asked to create sculptural awards with names etched somewhere on the sculpture
