There are three individual window openings high in the walls of this grand new space which are great for windows depicting scenes of the railroad and our glorious Colorado landscapes.

My proposal was accepted and newly easeled in my studio is the first of the panels; the little old yellow depot which will soon be moved to Monte Vista.

After a few studio  mishaps, this is what finally evolved…

(this is also now available as a print; contact me if interested).

Upon seeing it, several friends, (and the hubs), suggested sending it to the “CBS Sunday Morning” show.  After pursuing this course; I submitted a shot of it to the Art Challenge as required & was shortly notified thereafter that it was juried into the CBS Sun Art Library & will be featured on the program later in the year.

UPDATE:  This was aired Easter Sunday, April 4th and I will receive a tape of the segment shortly!

this particular piece, entitled “Road Home to Mt. Blanca” was commissioned by the wife of my most favorite college professor, for their son, David.  It now resides in Indiana.

I have decided to show the actual process from drawing through cutting, foiling, soldering & framing on this project.

The completed piece was successfully installed just prior to Christmas ‘09 and the gallery opening was  great!

In trade for my glass work I will receive a hand crafted piece of wearable art from a true master!

For the entire month of November, 2009, I will be showing pieces of various subjects, sizes and prices.

I have always been pleased to work with the homeless shelter here in Alamosa as far as my work goes, and 10% of anything which I sell from this venue will go directly to Milagros, which helps support the homeless shelter.

Although I did this piece back in 2000 when the Great Sand Dunes Nationa’l Monument became a full-fledged National Park, and it has been hanging in the visitors center there since; it was chosen to be included in work displayed at DIA in the show, “Art of the Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve” on concourse A.

It will be on display there until late January 2010.

On September 26th, 2009, the installation and unveiling took place at the visitor’s center with a crowd-filled lobby. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar pulled the coverings from the panels and spoke a few words in honor of “Public Lands Day”. Park superintendent Art Hutchison spoke as well and introduced me to talk about the project and my relationship to the Sand Dunes.

I was also honored by the park staff and the “Friends of the Dunes” with a reception for my friends and family after the unveiling.

The first time I visited the dunes was as a young girl on a Scouting trip. Little could I know that someday I would be honored to have such a piece of my work displayed in this park. Since coming to the valley in 1969 as a college student, and later marrying and raising my family here, I have been to the dunes numerous times to camp and hike.

Thus things have come full circle.
