I met Garth Rockcastle and James Carpenter at the Chicago Architecture Foundation, when they gave a talk on their work. I asked Carpenter how I could start designing glass for architects. He suggested I do some mock-ups and designs. So here are some design ideas, based on NASA images, plus a couple of mock-up installations of my paintings in glass.

Auroras - Design for Windows
I am intrigued by the qualities of light striking art glass - in the day from the inside and at night from the outside.

What interests me about designing Architectural Glass is that it functions as part of the architecture, rather than a mural painted on it or a painting placed on it.
