Meet TESS
A Designer with a Passion for all Things Glass

After receiving a degree in Commercial Art, I spent over 30 years working my way up from a production and layout artist to Art director. With strong graphic design and illustration skills, adding a proficiency with Adobe creative programs was a necessary asset as desktop publishing became the industry standard. Looking for a more hands-on creative outlet, I took a course in stained glass and made an immediate connection. I would continue to work my way into an apprentice position and eventually begin to teach in the same glass studio. Fast forward to the present, my design background and experience in glass has formed a happy merger of both mediums. A journey I felt destined to take and glad to have experienced, my creative and technical skills have allowed me to approach my glass designs with a wider vision.
Today my portfolio shows a blend of traditional stained glass and contemporary mosaics. The majority of my work is reflective of tropical and aquatic life, with a touch of whimsical and inspirational messaging. Mainly comprised of hand cut stained glass, my designs may include a mix of glass beads, copper wire, ceramic tile accents and bamboo. While these elements add a more decorative earthy tone, It's what really gives my work a personal touch... my signature of choice.
