Good Shepherd in Granbury, Texas

I was commissioned to make this round window by my friend Dick Whitehurst for the Good Shepherd Episcopal church. The congregation wanted bluebonnets and a Texas hill country look to the landscape with sheep of different colors. It turned out nice with all those Texas bluebonnets. They also put the image on their t-shirts and brochures! Recently they ordered another window for their entryway doors in the foyer.

The foyer window was made for Richard Rocloux for the Good Shepherd church.

The stained glass window took some time but everyone seems happy with it.

Another project was for an endangered animal ranch near Granbury, Texas. They had an old chapel on top of the mountain they were repairing, and the design was for a dove bringing the olive branch at the front, and at the back, Noah’s ark full of all the endangered animals she was raising there. Her mother had recently passed away and she found peace at the chapel on the hilltop amongst her endangered zoo animals.

DalleDeVerre Glory at LaPalmilla Gardens near Glen Rose, Texas

Dalle de Verre is made from slabs of thick glass that is cut and then faceted in the back with a carbide tipped chisel and then cast into a mosiac pattern. The colors are bolder and in the sun they look like gems and blaze with color. It took me about a year to finish all the chapel windows for LaPalmilla and my gracious patient client John Pastusek.

I also make domes and work in synthetic materials, real traditional stained glass, Dalle de Verre, and other materials.
