Thirty Years of Artistic Innovation: My Journey with a Unique Medium

Over thirty years ago, I discovered a medium that offered me the rare opportunity to blend several of my creative passions into a single, handcrafted process. Through this art form, I have been able to combine design, drafting, painting, woodworking, and stained glass—each discipline contributing to the creation of truly unique work.

After years of experimentation and exploration, I realized that the potential of this medium extended far beyond its initial purpose. By developing my own techniques, I found ways to create custom art using glass and mirrors, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible.

What sets this medium apart is its ability to faithfully reproduce pieces that remain true to their original subjects. Unlike traditional lead and stained glass, which can be limited by the physical constraints of the materials, my process allows for greater freedom and precision. This means I can create one-of-a-kind, handcrafted works of art without compromising the integrity of the original designs.

Each piece I create is a testament to my commitment to quality and detail. I am a perfectionist at heart, and customer satisfaction is always my top priority. My portfolio primarily features reproductions of cars, company logos, service emblems, coats of arms, college and university crests, and special recognition awards. However, I am always open to exploring new subject matter upon request.

Every mirrored art piece is carefully framed, signed, and ready to hang, making it a valuable addition to any home, office, or business décor.
