In three weeks I'll be delivering this lovely 32" Vineyard Romance, a custom reverse painted glass chandelier. I'm so pleased with how well this chandelier turned out...was going to wait until my delivery drive to show this piece here on my bog but thought, "hey, I can show it now and then"!' This is a [...]
This is another design idea for my abstract reverse painted glass chandeliers that I'm very excited about. Arizona Contemporary is inspired by both concepts that I've had in my mind for a few years and design elements taken from the studio glass movement, which turns 50 years old this year! Desert flowers alternate with colorful [...]
Morning on Maui is my newest tropical reverse painted glass chandelier. This exotic piece incorporates all of my signature elements: red gingers, birds of paradise, orchids, palm fronds, wide leave tropical foliage, torch ginger, yellow ginger and a parrot. The colors are bold, cheerful and vibrant. This painted chandelier will likely go down to my [...]
Sedona Vortex was born from an idea that's been floating around in my mind for several years. My idea was to take alternating sections of flowers and color blocks and have them swirl in the glass. This is an original concept for my reverse painted glass chandeliers. It is a fusion of my abstract and [...]
This has been a very creative and challenging Spring season. In the past several months I've had major creative break throughs in my abstract painted chandelier styles. As a professional artist, it's important to me to have my own signature painting styles and that's something that I've been developing through the years. Successful artists like [...]
Creating "new" painted night lights has become a favorite part of my creative time. This hand painted night light was originally concepted as one of two abstract pieces for a collector who already has three of my reverse painted abstract chandeliers. I liked both designs so much that I decided to add them to my [...]
Spring has arrived along with soft rains and new banana plant stalks are shooting up in the garden of my California studio. While I'm waiting for my garden to become green again, I'll be painting banana plants in my small Hawaiian waimea plantation cottage paintings...and dreaming of the lush season that follows. [...]
Need a little piece of paradise? My "new" tropical Bird of Paradise night light was previewed and then promptly sold out last month and has lovely warm colors. We grow birds of paradise at my home studio and they are now blooming in my garden! Through the years I have painted this flower differently in [...]
This elegant setting is a home in Brentwood, California's, luxurious Trilogy at the Vineyards community. To be clear, this is the Northern California's Brentwood. My reverse painted lamp (far left) and my reverse painted 'flat' glass pieces are lovely compliments to this formal, traditional wood interior. This lovely home has a 20' ceiling. The reverse [...]
Hawaii in Summer is one of my newest mini Waimea Plantation Cottage Series paintings. Those of you who have been following my painting blogs for a couple years know that I can paint these small Hawaiian sugar cottages endlessly. This piece forgoes the usual island cottage blue and utilizes the colors of the sun. Bright [...]
Bahama Macaw is a lovely example of my tropical, reverse painted glass chandeliers. Though I have been creating and painting these rare and exciting chandeliers for several years, part of what is most inspiring for me is that each new painted chandelier idea has the potential to be so different from the last even within [...]
My newest series of reverse painted glass night lights are my Honolulu Beauties Geshia Series. Each night light will be painted differently, with different patters, styles and flowers that will include orchids, tropical gingers and cherry blossoms, just to name a few. Some Geshias will hold fans. Reds, violet, black and golds have been the [...]
