Here is a good
example of stained glass solving a light reduction problem. This
south-facing dinette transom window allowed afternoon sunlight to fall
on the big screen TV in the adjacent family room. Watching the TV
became almost impossible when this happened. The clients informed me of
their need for significant light reduction, so I designed several
window ideas that all employed solid black, solid white, and gray
glasses. The design they picked fit nicely with their contemporary
kitchen design and neutral colors. It also solved their light reduction
problem completely.
These clients were so happy with the
transom stained
glass, they decided to commission two matching stained glass cabinet
door inserts for the corner cabinets in their kitchen (below). There's
nothing I like better than clients who are so happy that they decide to
acquire more of my work... that's the ultimate compliment to an artist
like myself!
