After she graduated from high school, she went on to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Eastern Michigan University. with a concentration in watercolor. Although painting was a main focus in college, she never gave up on the idea of a future in Stained Glass. After a few opportunities opened up in recent years, she began her Stained Glass business. She likes to create anything that comes to mind, while working with the many colors and types of glass. Lately, she has been incorporating wood into her designs, but one of her favorite things to create is portraits of family pets. With a provided image, she finds it challenging to pick out just the right details, to represent the pet’s personal character.
