Stained Glass Art
“Medieval stained glass windows are 1000 years old. They are stunning works of original Art! My second favourite stained glass is from the 100 year old British Pre-Raphaelite period, which sought to revive the skills of the Medieval glaziers that had been largely lost during the Renaissance. I am a Stained Glass Designer and Painter in the manner of these 2 great movements.”

“One of the methods I use is called vitri-fusaille, a fun term made up by Peter McGrain, literally meaning fused glass. I fuse a base of coloured glass and hand paint one-of-a-kind Tiny Stained Glass Windows, then frame them for you!”

“Art has a gestation period. Distilling the best concept requires observation, contemplation, research and metaphoric thinking. Fleshing out concepts requires visual exploration. Drawing keeps my mind limber and hands nimble. It is a form of meditation, prayer if you like. This creative practice amplifies my observation skills, awareness of Light and Form, and places me in the present tense in the river of Time.”
