In 2007 we completed a large set of modern art abstract stained and leaded glass windows for a client in St. Catherine. Full-size leaded glass sidelights for a front door, a bathroom oval window and 2 stained glass windows for bedrooms – all panels were developed in one modern geometric style with random artistic lines. Many panels were developed for odd shaped windows. The challenging task of this design was to overlay abstract irregular artistic lines over the regular pattern of existing grills of insulated units. The design was developed using clear textured architectural glasses with bevelled glass and crystal stained glass jewels as textured assents. Asymmetrical abstract thick lead lines are incorporated into a regular pattern of the windows grills

Modern double door entrance system with transom window for a double -height foyer of a large residence in Vaughan, Ontario. The idea of the stained glass design was to let the art lines to run through large glass areas freely with some interaction between lines and art glass.  This stained glass design was further development of the idea to explore expressive line in stained glass design not only as a connector between lines but also as an independent graphic element

This contemporary double entrance front door inserts with a transom window was one of the first independent commissions that I created for the client in Oakville back in 2003. As a young glass artist, I was very lucky to meet a client with an artistic background and cooperate on this project to reflect the unique contemporary style of living of the family. At that time I was adored by colours and intricate linework of Curtis R Doll Jr. His clear stained and leaded glass windows with beautiful geometry and intricate linework inspired me to create this door set inserts paying close attention to linework.  Ever since I treat lines not as a technical element to connect different pieces of glass but as a strong visual language to express and transform the interior space with light and glass. This project set a starting point for a large series of art glass in my portfolio

Additionally, for the same client, we created a set of suspended stained and leaded art glass panels for the double-height family room
