Karen and Geoffrey Caldwell have taken the tradition of stained glass windows and infused it with new life. Their “patchwork” fused, beveled and painted glass window panels are a naturalist’s vision of the Maine Coast, the Hudson River and the Jersey Shore. Geoffrey paints with a 13th century technique of silver stain to bring insects, birds and sea creatures to life. Karen creates three-dimensional botanicals using modern methods in fused glass. The airy geometry of the stained glass brings it all together. In this piece, "Summer", special elements are created like the 'jeweled confetti' border using glass and frit and taking it to a tack firing.
