Formative Work
When I first started working with stained glass, I took a photo of a family on the shore of Lake Superior near where I live. They were exploring the rocky beach by the light of the moon, which reflected off the lake’s surface behind. I was immediately inspired to use that photo as inspiration for my wife’s birthday present. I adapted the scene by replacing the family with a representation of my wife and I enjoying the view.
