Contemporary Stained Glass Pins and Buttons

Australian viewers will recognise the typical layout of an old Federation entryway: a large square with two smaller squares in the actual door and a fanlight above. My elderly client is an adventurous woman determined to enjoy the remaining period of her life with exuberance and she wanted this reflected in the design for the new entryway to her home in Glebe, Sydney.

Just installed this fanlight in a friend's kitchen today (11.08.12). The black and white chequerboard reflects the floor tiling while the design generally speaks to the traditional leadlight in the adjacent bathroom and other elements in the period house. But the brief called for a contemporary twist, so I skewed the grid to a 45 degree angle and built in a bevel rescued from an art deco leadlight.

This small panel was commissioned as a memorial to a pilot, and features the Dragon Rapide, a 1930's biplane built by British manufacturer de Havilland as a short-haul airliner carrying 6-8 passengers. Made of plywood, the aircraft flew many missions during WWII. The leadlight panel is now in Switzerland and forms part of the headstone memorial in a mountain cemetery.

Brightly colored memories - each a piece of the larger window to our hearts.

This is a view into the afternoon sun of my stained glass panel installed at a Bus Shelter in Blaxland Road by the City of Ryde, NSW in 2017. Anthony Ogle, in his capacity as Chief Engineer, was the commissioning agent. Anthony was responsible for the artwork printed onto the rear screen of the Shelter

This work was made in response to a very specific brief from a client who is a designer herself, building a beautiful new home in Sutton, NSW. Having researched the project, she was torn between two opposing design approaches: one completely organic, made up entirely of agate slices, and a totally geometric, multi-hued grid. My solution was to combine the two, allowing the grid to support the stones. Technically it was quite a challenge in construction but we are all very happy with the result.

Another Detail from a set of stained glass sidelights featuring peonies created last year for Chinese clients building a new house in Seaforth, on Sydney's North Shore. I've been sparing with the glass painting in this set of windows, mainly enhancing the features and adding some nuance to the textured glasses in the background. I also painted in a couple of bees in this panel :-)

Detail from a set of stained glass sidelights, either side of the front entrance, created last year for Chinese clients building a new house in Seaforth, on Sydney's North Shore. Here I've used gold-pink enamels, along with Reusche tracing black, fired onto the glass to enhance the natural variations of the art glass used in making the flower

A new residential commission installed in February 2015 for a townhouse in Ryde. The window faces west and is the prime source of light to the apartment, throwing colour across the floor and up the walls as the sun moves. The client had a significant input into the colour scheme so it was an interesting commission in that regard, working within a restricted palette. Of course what it meant was, she got all her favourite colours, so she's very happy with the result.

Painting by Kari Gregorich

A piece inspired by stained glass windows and made using watercolour to give the translucency and colour variation that would be seen in glass. This is a bold and colourful modern painting that would brighten up any room.

Modern Blue Stained Glass

This window is one of a pair of windows which were commissioned for the Chapel at TAS , (The Armidale School) in Armidale, northern New South Wales. Both the client and the Chaplain requested windows which would speak to the community of boys in a contemporary manner. However my first designs were roundly rejected by the School committee as being too modern, so after much discussion about subject matter I created two windows which would illustrate in text the Fruit of the Spirit.
