Spirit Glass Windows
1. What you are about to see represents decades of collecting, washing, sorting, creating and presenting. I believe art engages, inspires, comforts and, in some cases, heals. This work comes not from me but through me in my heart and soul. I also believe we are stewards of the earth and should recycle, reuse and repurpose whenever possible.

20. Recycled Materials With the exception of the paint and fixative, all material used in this work is recycled, including the windows. Natural items such as wood, stone, shell, bone and feathers were collected on the beaches of Maine and Massachusetts, as was the sea glass and pottery. All other materials, including stained and hand blown glass shards were headed for the landfill.
21. Intent Spirit Glass works are intended to engage the imagination and are especially conducive for places of meditation, healing and peace. They aspire to speak to and uplift the spirits of the viewers. Although some have been commissioned for private residences, which I am happy to do, I feel they serve their highest purpose as “public art.” On A Blue Moon installed
