As a child, I spent a great deal of time in my father’s workshop. He owned an interior decorating store, but had a hobby creating unique items out of Plexiglas (a clear acrylic glass). His hobby later became and still is his full time profession.
So the passion for working with glass was instilled in me at a young age, I just felt it needed color! I was trained and apprenticed in the Art of Stained Glass in Memphis, Tennessee. Afterwards, my husband and I had the opportunity to move to the French Alps, where I had a workshop (Atelier) and the opportunity to teach this art.
Now that we have moved back to America, I am happy to be using my talent to create beautiful gifts, holiday, office and home decor items. I hope you see something you like, whether for you or for a friend.

Special Story
The first window I ever made, I stood up with the light shining through it and begged God to teach me what He wanted me to see through it! I waited .... and then it came. Each piece was carefully cut, ground and fashioned in it's proper place. Some light and some very dark. While I had worked on it, it lay flat, the colors were very dull and hardly noticable.....BUT when it was finished and I held it up in the light....it was breathtaking! The dark pieces(our trials) were what brought so much beauty and all the pieces were necessary to make something so beautiful. And suddenly an overwhelming sense of pride came over me that I had made "this work of art". Then God whispered that someday when I am finished and He holds me up and the light of Christ shines through.....God will say "I MADE YOU!"
