This means I don’t simply make pretty designs of whatever I want for the sizes and shapes I’m given and plop them into your building. I want to help create an environment that is made especially for your situation. An environment is a more complicated thing than an artwork. It is a collection of several factors that are interacting with one another, often on a subconscious level: the architecture, the interior finishes, the quality of light and how it moves, the psychology of the people as they move and experience the artwork in the space. All these things must be carefully considered before designing can begin. Architectural art is married to its context, and it can be a marriage made in Heaven or one of convenience. I try to make a perfect fit.

I don’t really do “stained glass”. I collaborate with world-class glass blowers and painters to translate my paintings into blown glass, using ancient techniques in a contemporary way. My work requires five to ten times more labor to realize than traditional stained glass windows, and only a handful of people are left in the world with the expertise to do it. I hope they’re around long enough for me to make it to retirement.

The subject of two television documentaries in the U.S. and one in Germany, my work has been exhibited and commissioned in Asia, Europe, America, and the Middle East.

I do both large-scale public artworks and small residential commissions. All work is one-of-a-kind and made to order.
