Glass provides us with something that no other mediums can - the 'Light' effect. For centuries churches and other institutions have inspired awe with their exqusite use of stained glass. Today stained glass is as popular as it was. Glass Painting can be said as "Stained Glass made easy"!!!

Painting on glass is working with light passing through the glass medium rather than reflecting off a surface as in canvas, paper or board. This form of art can create or enhance texture. It is also a very effective way for the artist to control exactly where light comes through on any given piece of glass or transparent medium, by using both color and opacity.

Today this flexible and dynamic art form can be found frequently in homes, restaurants, offices, schools and public places. Anyone irregardless of age and ethnic background can enjoy this form of art and explore their creativity in the comfort of their own homes, minus the constraints of space, equipment and time.
