Living Color: The World of the Stained-Glass Botanicals

Step into the brighter side of the studio and you'll find a collection that seems lit from within. The stained-glass botanicals trade quiet neutrals for pure, singing colour — leaves and petals broken into glowing panes and bound together with lines of gold.

The Language of the Window

The inspiration is right there in the name. Like a cathedral window, these works divide the surface into distinct fields of colour, each one outlined and separated from its neighbour. That structure does something remarkable: it lets wildly different hues — emerald beside saffron, coral beside amethyst — sit side by side without ever clashing. The gold line is the peacemaker, giving each colour its own space to glow.

In Stained Glass Garden, leaves unfurl in a mosaic of jewel tones across the canvas. In Autumn Cascade, that same technique tumbles downward in warm, molten hues — forest green giving way to orange and blush. The method is shared; the mood is entirely different.

Colour as Feeling

These are joyful, optimistic works, and unapologetically so. Where much contemporary art whispers, these pieces sing. They're built for the rooms where life actually happens — a bright kitchen, an entryway, a child's space, anywhere that could use a daily dose of energy and warmth.

Colour, arranged with care, is its own kind of light.

Finding the Right Wall

Because they carry so much colour, these works love a little breathing room. A calm, neutral wall lets them take centre stage. They also make wonderful conversation between rooms — echoing a single accent colour from a rug, a cushion, a vase — tying a whole space together with one confident gesture.

Every stained-glass botanical is an original composition. The palettes are never repeated exactly, so each one is a one-of-a-kind window onto the studio's most colourful imagination.
