"Sonoma Harvest"


This signature piece of the artist is a "unique" translucent art glass mosaic where the glass is not only cut and ground, but also grouted like a tile mosaic would be then adhered to a sheet of clear plexi glass. Installed in a remodeled kitchen in Pleasanton, CA.
28" x 36"

 

"Atop Cedar Mountain"

This personal request of the honorable Judge Hugh Walker depicts the actual view at sunset from his remote mountain cabin retreat. The twinkling lights of Livermore valley in the distance are cleverly created by using fused dichroic glass pieces. His Honor proudly displays this gem in his living room in Livermore, CA.
24" x 36"

 

"Conservatory"

Mixing nature and architecture has always been one of our specialties. This beautiful installation in the living room of an old English style brick home in Palo Alto, CA combines the realism of palm leaves in various shades of green with the crisp honeycomb architectural design of a French Country Manor.
35 1/4" x 87 1/4"

 

"Harvest on Paddock Court"

This "suite" of autumn inspired panels in both the light box and adjoining cabinets combines fine art with function in this wine country kitchen. The rich colors of harvest along with freely meandering grapevines and leaves provide warmth and character every day of the year.

"Majestic California Oak"

A graceful and stately oak freely stretches its limbs outward against the backdrop of an arroyo and its running waters in the distance. The many layers of the massive trunk are composed of a several tones of rich earth tone colors providing a focal point in this master bedroom in Pleasanton, CA.
36" x 72"

 

"White Magnolia"

Creamy magnolia buds burst into full bloom in this lovely San Rafael, CA dining room. The image, reminiscent of the "bigger than life" themes in many a Georgia O'Keefe painting, appear suspended across a field of Spectrum Remy Baroque glass. A beautiful backdrop for fine dining.
16 3/8" x 70"

 

"Kobler Sunflower "

The intricacy that only Mother Nature can perform is mastered in a brilliant and complex sunflower design. This colorful design encased in the kitchen door of this Arts and Crafts inspired Sebastopol, CA home warmly welcomes all who enter. The design would also be very effective as a mosaic.
26 7/8" x 24 3/4"

 

"Wisteria and Ruby Throated Hummingbirds"

A signature treatment of "free cut" wisteria blossoms where no pattern is used makes this design so realistic actual hummingbirds may join those created in glass to feast upon the bounty. The rolling hills of the Petaluma valley and a stunning piece of Remy Baroque complete the picture in the entry to this Petaluma home.
21 3/8" x 81 3/8"

 

"Mountain Ranch Road Oak"

The naturally organic terrain and groves of mature California oak trees surrounding this rustic contractor/owner built home overlooking the Petaluma valley draws the outside environment harmoniously into this elegant dining room setting.
Four windows (double hung)
31" x 42" each

 

"Maybeck Wisteria Suite"

This early work of the artist and somewhat abstract version of wisteria intertwined in glass cut mullions simulating wood provide additional warmth and charm to the family room of this early California Arts & Crafts Bungalow home in Berkeley CA.
