I have been creating stained glass artwork since 1998. The mission of Glass Pizazz is to utilize the techniques of traditional stained glass to create unique designs that are both functional and aesthetic works of art. Stained glass adds beauty to its surroundings and I try to incorporate it in all aspects of our daily lives. I believe stained glass belongs everywhere, not just in windows.

Craftsmanship and quality in all aspects of my work is paramount. All glass is hand cut, foiled and soldered using the Tiffany copper foil method. Glass selection is a key element in my designs. The color, fluidity and texture is used to bring the piece alive. While light brings out the true brilliance of the selected glass, the completed piece will have personality and hold your interest in its absence.

I also create mosaics. They include garden accents, decorative home decor, and whimsical pieces. The pieces include glass cut by hand, grouted with only high quality material, and sealed to maintain a clean, waterproof surface.

My philosophy is quality art. I would much rather spend months on 1 piece until it meets my standards, then producing 50 pieces of low quality and price just to make sales.

I enjoy taking someone’s request and creating a unique piece of art, surpassing their expectations.

Inspiration comes from listening to what the piece will mean to them, where it will be displayed, and its purpose.
