Probably the most important repair of any stained glass window for Pamela was this original Tiffany stained glass window. The crack was barely visible in a lower left hand corner. But it was the joy of having this incredible work of Art in her studio that was a career highlight. …
Simple but powerful design with an interplay of textures and prismatic light. The clients commissioned the panel for an entryway door.
When Pamela received the two vintage stained glass door panels, they were in a very bad state. Over 100 years of grime layered the glass and the lead was badly deteriorated. A full restoration was required to return these beautiful panels to their original glory.
Orchids in an array of mosaics. Multi colored glasses surrounded by broken pieces of tempered glass. A joy to create!

Pamela teamed up with interior designer, Rose DiNapoli, to design the stained glass windows for a 100 year old home in Washington, D.C. The actual motif for the Fleur de Lis came from the Basilica in Lourdes, France, where they visited while taking a break from restoring the stained glass …
The bevels, forming a circular floral motif, create a strong and beautiful focal for this Victorian style transom. The colors of muted orange and amber add beauty to the overall design, as does the use of two different textured clear glasses to emphasize the bevels.
The inspiration for this design came from perusing a stained glass catalogue printed during Victorian times. Pamela chose the lovely floral motif and expanded the design using repetion with connecting lines and ovals. Pale peach and green glasses contrast beautifully adjacent to the moss textured clear glass.

I was commissioned to restore this historically significant stained glass from the late 1800’s. When I received the window, it was extremely damaged and broken. It never fails to take my breath away when I see the stained glass returned to its original glory.
A leaded glass entryway, sidelights and transom, was created with a very classic design. Using a very pale gray glass for the center diamonds gives an added dimension to the overall presentation.
