Mark and Greta Hanesworth met while studying Art at Ohio State University, Mark was in Painting and Sculpture and Greta was in Ceramics.and Design Both have enjoyed a lifelong interest in the Arts. After working in other fields for several years, in 1982, we began Shades of Glass a Stained Glass Studio near Coolville, Ohio. Our work is sold at fine art festivals, and galleries. We have made commissioned windows for residences, businesses, and churches in Ohio and West Virginia. Description of Work |
|
We enjoy the play of color and light, bringing elegance to the design and structural integrity to the framework of a stained glass window panel. The hand and eye of the artist-craftsman give shape to a timeless work of art. Our best work reflects the tranquility of a spirit attuned to God, bringing emotions of joy and peace, evoking the beauty of God's creation. A piece does not have to depict a flower to be like a flower which has the beauty of balance and symmetry with delicate splashes of vibrant color.
We have tried to find the meeting ground where contemporary ideas rest on the rich tradition of stained glass, tying into the history of this lasting art form. The atmosphere created by sunlight through a beautiful window glows with warmth and asks only to be enjoyed. Seeming to come alive with the ever changing dance of color and light, it is like fine jewelry for the home. Visit their web site at http://virtualstainedglass.com/sog/index.html |
