My Journey with Stained Glass...

a creative blend of

artistic vision & technical precision

.

It's been over two decades ago that I took my first stained glass class, and my appreciation for this art form has only grown over the years. My supply bins are now overflowing with more glass than I will likely use up in this lifetime—yet I still can't resist adding "just one more" beautiful piece to the collection!

Stained glass is a demanding collaboration of artistic vision & technical precision. While my head continues to swirl with new ideas I want to eventually make, I know that generating💡ideas has become the easy part for me, not by accident but rather through many years of cultivating that ability.

Creativity is a universal force or energy inside each of us and is not confined to just creating art in the traditional sense. This force is part of all we do in life, whether making 🎨 art, writing an e-mail or a 📖 book, cooking 🥣 a meal, planning✏️ the week or envisioning our life 🌟 dreams. Invoking the creative force comes with its own set of rules ~ one is that its presence grows over⌛️time. The more you call upon it, the Stronger it becomes. See, it works Less like a faucet to be turned🚰 off/on or controlled by techniques. Rather, it acts more like a welcome breeze💨 that enters an open 🪟 window — naturally, without being forced to show up. As you LEARN how to EVOKE thenuminous ✨ presence of your Muse, it gradually becomes a reliable

and valuable companion, a relationship worthy of cultivating. In this way, creativity becomes a Way of Life and a constant source of inspiration and discovery.
