Painting with light
Stained glass has the ability to breathe life and dimension into any creation by itself, but by adding color, words, lines and shadows, the possibilities are endless.
This section will take a walk through the different reasons for the addition of paint or layers. Usually for restoration, repairs and additions to existing windows. Sometimes, for the sheer love of artistic expression.
