With a life-long appreciation for and experience in art and architecture, I am able to combine both in my designs for original glass art. My background in drawing and painting, as well as other hands-on experience with clay, wood and metal, has given me the ability to integrate many different elements into the fabrication of glass designs.
Custom and stock bevels, textured clears, stained glass of unlimited colors and density, sand blasting/etching, painted and kiln-worked glass all contribute to the options available in producing glass art that blends in seamlessly into its environment. With good design as a starting point, the focal point window, backsplash or door panels will be a good fit and a treasured addition to any home or business.
The Studio Team
Established in 1987 as Harvard Art & Glass Works, and renamed Baxter Glass Art in 2002, our team has been dedicated to the professional application and fabrication of glass art for over 25 years. Working together with homeowners, architects, builders and designers, we have produced a wide range of finished products ranging from doors, sidelights, transoms and windows to mosaics and glass tiles in designs, colors and textures to suit any personal or architectural style or period. All designs are original, making our pieces truly one-of-a kind.
