Welcome to Maine Glass Design - stained glass art

I work with all types of glass (Stained glass art, Stained glass designs, Fused Glass, Restorations and Mosaic). My creativity lends towards not only my own designs, but thoughts and ideas from listening to a client's input. My work is custom made to order. The sky is the limit in which I design and build a subject upon dimension, color and interagency A popular technique of stained glass work can be built in a three dimensional design to adding extra flair to the finished piece. Fusing glass gives a totally different pleasing view with added details. Mosaic work adds earthy values as I've built wall plaque back splashes, stepping stones, and furniture table tops. Thank you for visiting my web site. Enjoy viewing the tip of the iceberg.

Let me help make your visions come to life.  

I was born and raised in Lewiston; I made Maine my home after brief stays in the mid-west and south.  
My interest in creativity began in high school where I was lucky having an aunt that specialized in tailoring.  I took several years of art from a well-known artist that also lives in Maine. My studies included drawing, oils, pastels, water colors, pin & ink, and scratch board. Twenty years ago curiosity opened the doors to a whole new world of glass art.  Passions exploded and my mind started running nonstop designing, creating, and building pieces. I truly enjoy meeting the public hearing their views and comments on my work.  Sitting down with a client listening to their needs and whishes is very important to me as my goal as an artist is to please the individual by creating a beautiful unique piece that suites their taste. I do most of my work in stained glass from hangings, windows, door and cabinet inserts, to the smallest of sun catchers. Another phase of fused glass designs bringing more detail and dimension into my work. Taking discarded furniture or family heir looms refinishing wood, and artistically designing a mosaic table top caught the eye of the beholder.  She did not stop here but also made her wardrobes since high school, family, and animals.  I have a great love of animals and have been lucky enough to be in the horse business for many years where I studied and showed in the Classical Art of Dressage. I have a focus on animal portraits to symbolize the owner's pet in glass art or pastels.      I currently reside in the beautiful town of Falmouth, Maine with my biggest fans Katie & Lester miniature schnauzers; this is where you will often find me hard at work redesigning my fifty year old house from floor to ceiling, digging in my garden or creating a new landscape.  Many times you will find me hosting a big Italian dinner cooking up a storm for family and friends.
