I discovered a passion of transcribing photographs into stained glass panels, which allows the recipients to display favorite memories in a semi-permanent way that uniquely resonates.   

Art applies to everyone, but glass art tends to be cost prohibitive, particularly for my peer group.  

I’ve enjoyed “stalking” the social media pages of friends and family, and then surprising individuals with personal pieces based upon their shared photos.  The shock that comes when I deliver the finished products is uniformly vibrant- caught somewhere between the unexpected awe of being singly recognized and valued, and the personal thrill at seeing themselves (or those they love) represented through the eyes of art.  I imagine the pieces outliving me- outliving the subject themselves- ultimately passed down to spark memory in the spirit of future generations.
