Dani & Garrett, 2010

Dani & Garrett, 2010



This piece was custom made for newlyweds Dani & Garrett! It was custom designed for them by the maid-of-honor who wanted to include certain images important to the couple.

The key images include (mapped out below):


1. Cardinal (flying in when your eye meets the piece)
2. Tribune Building (depicted with transparent blue glass)
3. Chicago Skyline (Willis Tower & the Hancock)
4. The Lake (begins with a golden sunset and ripples out to sail boats and blue glass waves)
5. Acapulco (where the blues of the water meet the palm tree on the right, lining the right edge of the piece, white buildings representing the shoreline of Acapulco)
6. Apples (a basket of apples underneath the palm tree)
7. Football (the green checkered glass pattern in the bottom left of the piece represents the grassy patches of a football field with white hash marks dividing the areas, the greens move right leading into the brown spotted glass resting under the tree as a football)



[Stained glass and grout on wood, 20in. x 18in.]
