Ordering info

Please contact the artist at the above email address if you would like to order a piece of art. Items that are listed as "In stock" will ship out within a week of payment being received. Special order items and custom designs will take between 1 and 4 months depending on the complexity of the piece and my current work load. Special order and custom designs require 50% payment up front with remainder due when piece is completed.

Galleries

I am not currently displaying any work in galleries.

Explanation of pricing

The price for the stained glass pieces is based both on the size of the work and the total number of glass pieces used to construct it. The cost of materials is roughly proportional to the area of the piece whereas the time to make it (labor is 80-90% of the total cost) is proportional to the total linear edge of the pieces. Thus cost of a piece varies largely in proportion to the linear dimension (height or width) rather than the area.

Studio Location

My studio is located in Arden Hearth, our elegant Victorian home in Richmond, Indiana.
At Arden hearth, we also offer an intimate meeting space for many kinds of special events, such as arts and writing workshops, day retreats, or evening seminars for small groups.
