Item Details

Twenty-six stained glass windows created in three series for Our Lady of Loreto Parish in Foxfield, Colorado. Thematically the windows evoke the Mysteries of the Rosary, the Angelic Hierarchy, and the Celestial Jerusalem. The glass panels were created using acid-etching, sandblasting and vitreous-fired enamel techniques on flashed, hand-blown glass and laminated to float carrier pieces which were in turn painted, sand-blasted, fired and tempered to create the voluminous depth one feels when looking into these windows. Breath, wind, fire, and water are all required for the very process of making glass and the imagery created for these windows.
