Spokane Art School enLIGHTened event

Dream, Love, Believe
On March 31, 2007 I was one of the artists at the enLIGHTened after dinner affair. This is the piece that I donated to have auctioned off in the live auction. All of the art pieces were to be about light or enlightenment - however the artist wanted to interpret it. My piece was a refurbished chandelier that I made into a candle holder with mosaic mirror in the center. The 3 candle holders were made with fused glass to represent dream, love, believe.

Good Works Show

The Spokane Jeweler's Guild is having their 25th anniversary show at the Good Works Gallery in Spokane. The show is along with the Spokane Visual Arts tour in February.

This is the necklace that I created for the show. It also has earrings to go with it. I created the pendant with fused dichroic glass, wrapped in sterling silver and strung with purple coral, silver Thai beads and swarovski crystals. The clasp is also sterling silver.

Lutheran Church windows

I just finished the five windows for the Lutheran Church of the Master here in Coeur d'Alene on the corner of Kathleen and Ramsey. Whew...just in time for Christmas! I really enjoyed making the windows and hope the church will love them for many years to come. Each window measures 2 feet by 3 feet and have lots of pieces. They took me several months to complete.


Noah's Arc













Moses and the ten commandments



The Flesh and Blood of Jesus











Luther's Seal












Baptized Dove

Jerry's Sunflower finished!

Here is the window that I was working on.

Hope you love it Jerry!
