Meet TESS
A Designer with a Passion for all Things Glass

Shortly after earning a degree in Commercial Art, I traded in my snow gear for a swim suit and a pair of flip flops, and left my home state of Utah for sunny south Florida. I quickly adapted to the sand and sun, while learning to swim upstream through 30 years experience beginning as a graphic designer underling to eventually become an Art Director.  Somewhere in mid-stream, I came up for air and stumbled into a stained glass studio, took a class and was instantly hooked on the art of breaking glass. So much so that I continued to work and teach in the same studio. Fast forward to the present, the transition from the advertising industry into the colorful world of glass has formed a happy merger of both mediums. Applying my design skills to the glass, It was a journey I felt destined to take and glad to have experienced.
Today my work has progressed into a blend of traditional stained glass and contemporary mosaics. My designs generally reflect a floral and aquatic theme, with an occasional hint of conservation awareness and education. Tastefully mingled with a splash of copper, glass beads and other organic materials, my work is a reflection of who I am and what I love to do. It’s the details that give my work a personal touch... my signature of choice.
