Beveled
Skylight Panel
Large skylight (approx. 8' X 8') panel for private residence. This piece had
several different colors of glass with different bevel widths. The center was
a 3/4" thick beveled octogon. |

Green
Ring Panel
This is a very special beveled window. The pattern was taken from a rare early
eighteenth century book of stained glass designs of the 16th century. I knew
the moment I saw it I wanted to make it using bevels. 3/8" starfire glass
was used for the bevels. I thought that beveling the ends of the bevels would
interrupt the circles, so I had lead custom made, very high heart to accommodate
the 3/8" thick ends of the bevels. It's one of my favorite panels.
Collection of the artist. Measures 34" by 22". |

Private
Residence
Out of all the entryways I've done this one remains my favorite (so far).
3/8" starfire glass was used for all the bevels, and a 3/4" thick
round dichroic jewel was created for the transom. Located in Calabasas,
California. |

Impossible
Ring Panel
This is another of my favorite panels. If you notice, the ring on the
right is an unbroken ring, beveled on the inside and the outside. Very
challenging. The rings are 11 inches in diameter. The beveled pieces
that make up the border are very small, 1/4" wide, and up to 3/4" long.
Panel measures 27" by 21". Collection of the artist |

Contemporary
beveled panel
This autonomous panel includes many different widths of bevel, and several
kinds and thickness of glass. The large center bevels are 1/2" glass
with a bevel that changes in width, something I think looks very nice
( and is quite difficult to do). Measures 28" tall and 21" wide. |

Impossible
Bevel
Sometimes studios would come to me with difficult designs that they wanted
me to bevel for them, I love a challenge. This was done very, very carefully.
I think I nearly bit through my lower lip. There were two of these pieces
in this panel, along with many other custom bevels. |

Snake
in the Glass
This was a piece I made many years ago. I found a photo of a mamba (cousin to
the cobra), and knew right away I had to turn it into a beveled panel. The head
and neck are pretty close to anatomically correct, the bottom portion and tongue
are my drawing. The pupil of the eye is a 3/4" thick beveled cone, surrounded
by an unbroken ring that was very thin, and very difficult. An unexpected consequence
of the pupil is that it seems to move and follow you as you move, I swear. The
yellow glass for the belly scales is 90 year old French colored plate, and was
found in a very old glass shop in downtown Los Angeles. The tongue is gray plate
glass, very thin and precarious bevels. Measures 43 inches by 34 inches, in custom
walnut frame. Collection of the artist. |
