Biography

I have always been interested and or fascinated with the art of Stained glass. Some six or seven years ago, I took some stained glass classes and workshops at the Sawtooth School here in Winston Salem. I enjoyed it and learned allot as I am now retired and have time to do even more pieces. From that point I started creating pieces in my own home work studio, for my own enjoyment and as gifts. I entered pieces in the Second Spring Art Fair and won First place. I had several pieces that I put in the the annual Sawtooth Christmas fundraiser and sold all my pieces there, plus have displayed and selling pieces in there gift show. I have been commissioned by several clients to create and design several customs pieces as well. I enjoy the whole process and creating the pieces. Something that is creative, yes its hard work, but its very rewarding when you get the end result, and know that your customer really enjoys your art. I have pieces that are getting ready to go on display for sell at the Sawtooth Gift shop again, as well as the new gift shop in the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts.
