Night Lights

I've been experimenting with transferring small images from 12th-15th century stained glass windows onto glass. I incorporate them into night lights.

Enthroned Emperor
The image on this colorful, stained glass night light is thought to be Charlemagne. The original, 12th century window is at Strasburg Cathedral.

My work reflects the simplicity of the early cathedral windows that inspire it. Like the medieval artists, I use limited shading, stressing instead the graphic of the trace line. And like the early glass painters, most of my surface painting is done in brown and black. I prefer to highlight my images against panels of strongly colored glass, often red and blue. Decorative borders and backgrounds are as important as the image.
