Sunrise Art Glass

Sunrise Art Glass is a small stained glass studio in Mill Valley, California, overlooking Richardson Bay to the east. I create projects of varying sizes and types. My large projects are typically installed windows in doors and cabinets and decorative panels that can be hung or inset in front of existing windows, providing the appearance of installed glass with portability: you CAN take it with you when you go -- at least to your next home!

I work effectively in both traditional lead came and the freer-looking tiffany or copper foil style. (The cabinet on the upper left is lead, and the church window and small projects are copper foil.)

In February, 2006, my church project, shown at the left, was featured as a 'Design of the Month' by Dragonfly Software.

My small items can be either 2- or 3-dimensional. Projects have included sun catchers, holiday decorations, candle holders, tissue holders, and decorative boxes.

My butterflies and birds come in both 2D and 3D versions, adding depth to your decorations.

These pages show a number of examples of my work. Panels focuses on my larger works and installed pieces. The Sun Catchers page shows my smallest items. Glass Boxes displays candle holders, tissue boxes, and hinged boxes.

Challenges discusses some of the ways that stained glass can solve decorating problems within a home. Several pages, Project Stories, Current Projects, Recent Projects, and Project Archive provide additional details about the design and creation of some of my work.

I am available to help you with your ideas for stained glass. The tools I use allow me to create samples of designs with various glass options and email them to you and to create full-sized printouts to hang in your home before you commit to a design or color scheme. As you can see on the Current Projects page, I can also overlay my designs on a photo of your proposed placement to give you a good idea of the final result, even before any glass is purchased. Please contact me if you have a project in mind.
