Had enough spare cabochons and frame stock to make a small run of hanging panels. The two designs were from last year but had sold and felt worthy of revisiting. Slight color changes and detail for each to keep them as one offs and three inches shorter than first set.

Winding down 25 with a some local events. Had been a while since a public display and was nice to show some newer work. Ogden Prowl returned after a long break. I have shown in the annual white light show several times but not since 2019. Nice meeting some new faces and catching up with friends. Hope the holidays treat you well. Thanks for stopping by.

Pairs of 18″ square panels, long hexagons, and trapezoid frames made for fun. Taking stock of some materials I’ve collected over the years and seeking appropriate uses for them in smaller scale projects. I plan to expand this group as time permits.

Latest group of oil on canvas pieces created from the beginning of the 24 to spring. Finding purpose and routine was the goal of this period and remains a mantra. Have an excellent summer.

Pardon the lapse in updates here. Had some setbacks last year due to medical treatment but have received great care and things appear to be going well.

A couple glass installations will be added shortly. Thanks for your continued interest in the work!

Kitchen window request based on design by Steve Wilson that I modified to fit space. A tour de force of cabochon and jewel embellishments. Inner cypress frame to modify existing vinyl insulated frame so piece could be removed in the future if needed. Three art panels using recycled oak pew cubbies. Some basic concise designs meant to highlight special pieces collected through the years. Have three more mocked up to fill as time permits.

Additions in the painting category. Enjoyable time to let my hair down and work without parameters. These pieces are a bit more accessible visually compared to more purely abstract of the past. The ambiguous part has shifted to surreal combinations of characters. concept is to give an open ended narrative which the viewer may interject their own ending or interpretation.

Recent installation of the Southminster Pres. Church near Houston. The resurrection and 23rd Psalm shepherd themes were the final two themes. Overall a fun project which stretched my skill set, and allowed me to play out a few ideas I’ve wished to explore a bit more.

Work has continued on a church near Houston. This third design request includes figural work and extensive kiln fired painting. The previous two had a fair amount of small design accents, yet this particular image based on a Carl Heinrich Bloch painting from the late 1800s required a good bit more layering to achieve the look the congregation desired. Here are some progress pictures on the light table.

Wrapped up this trio of fun pieces. No real direction on these other than a desire to create something a bit unorthodox and that pushes a few ideas which have stirred around for a bit. Last year I was honored to have a writeup in the Stained Glass Quarterly periodical. My employer Stephen Wilson was kind submitted an article to them and they decided to run it. Sorry but there are no online versions of it.

A few installations of recent projects. All were specific commissioned requests for clients which had to meet an existing frame requirement. I enjoy having a design challenge as it gives an unexpected opportunity or path otherwise not found.

Added a few new pieces to the painting gallery. Very happy to get this newer version of the site going and trying to update my folio and software in the process. It is a constant battle between creativity and organization to maintain a body of work. But once a system is put in motion for things, it isn’t so difficult to keep up with.

Welcome to the first installation of this website. It’s been a long time coming to get this page up to speed. It had been an old html format over the past 15 years and looked ok on a desktop, but that was about all. Hopefully this version will keep me fluid across all devices and lessen time editing as well. Thanks for stopping by.
