Artist Biography:
As I make these crosses, I am reminded that each color has meaning. Every single chip that I
make with the strike of the hammer creates a facet that refracts light differently. As I finish
each one, I know that the quality and workmanship will be admired by others. An in some small
way, maybe even inspire those who view it as a reminder of what Christ has done for us.
Glass is my passion. I have been making stained glass for homes, churches, restaurants, and
public buildings for 26 years. Every project is inspiring, challenging, and requires lots of
patience. These crosses are no different.
To my knowledge, there are no crosses like these anywhere. They are hurricane proof!
Below is a close up view of what an "Artistic Cross" looks like. You can see the size and
thickness of the glass by the ruler I am holding in the background. This view also shows the
rough texture of the 1" thick glass that is hand chiseled and cast into a black sand resin that is
a rock like substance. All of these crosses are brilliant when sunlight passes through them.
Each cross is individually boxed and packed in bubble wrap. We also add a copy of our story
as well as a full color brochure. They weigh between 2.5 and 3 lbs and are shipped ready to
hang with 8" of black chain.
