When Art Takes On a Life of its Own

Having created art glass installations for hotels across the country and in various public spaces, I frequently stumble across my own work as the glass backdrop to big moments in other people’s lives. Weddings are the most common.

It’s always fascinating to see how the work takes on a whole new life. In fact, sometimes the photographer manipulates the color so drastically, I barely recognize my own work!
