The beginning of an addiction!

I am frequently asked:  "How did you get started doing stained glass?"  or "How did you get started doing repairs?"  This is the short version -- and the beginning for me of a hobby that turned into a talent and passion:
My husband, Scott, drew a self-logo as part of a workshop conducted by the great motivational speaker, Anthony Robbins.  The drawing was so beautiful to me, I thought it would make a perfect stained glass window for our home and a perfect birthday gift for my husband.  I took a computer composed image of the drawing to a local stained glass shop and asked if I could have it made into a window.  The proprietress of the shop, Nicki Albright Townley, who has since become a good friend, suggested that I take a course to learn stained glass and make it myself.  Challenge on.  After the first small project, I was hooked!  The window came out beautiful and it was a great birthday surprise!

When  Nicki Albright Townley's stained glass shop was open, she would have an annual glass show.  This piece won first place in the beginner's category.

    I am an Oklahoma glass artist.  Specializing in on-site glass repairs.  I love all kinds of hand work, including clay work, quilting, beading and embroidery.  When not in my studio, you can find me tending to my indoor aquaponic garden or my outside garden and hopefully soon -- my greenhouse.
