“Dairy House” by Skene Catling de la Peña Architects (image via Stylepark)
This past week, I happened upon a gem while perusing an architecture blog. An old dairy building in Somerset, England was transformed into the stunning five-bedroom house pictured here, using stacked glass blocks and oak planks.

There’s something extremely surreal about realizing your art exists in the largest-ever 3D virtual world – despite the fact that you, technically, do not.

Having created art glass installations for hotels across the country and in various public spaces, I frequently stumble across my own work as the glass backdrop to big moments in other people’s lives.

Apparently I have parking structures on the brain this summer.

I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Robin Williams this week. A great talent, gone so early and under such tragic circumstances.

If you’re interested in kiln-glass in architecture and find yourself in New York’s Westchester County this week, don’t miss Art into Architecture at the Bullseye Glass Resource Center New York Gallery, closing on Saturday.

Some years back, I had the luck of visiting the Byzantine Fresco Chapel in Houston, Texas. At the time, it was the only place in the entire western hemisphere where one could view intact Byzantine frescoes of such size and significance. It was also one of the most elegant examples of a chapel art glass installation that I’ve experienced in this country.
Experiments in making fused glass stripes
Often when I finish a project, I’m left with bins of glass remnants. At one point, the bins were starting to pile up, so I thought I would try a little experiment.
Wyandanch Station, stairway, north elevation. (L) proposed design; (R) alternative design
Last winter, I was honored to have this colorful glass facade concept selected as one of four proposals for a public art project at Long Island Rail Road’s Wyandanch Station. While the work ultimately went unrealized, it was an interesting design challenge and I can imagine adapting it for another use in the future.
