scintilla stained glass, Susan Scott, Victoria

Susan comes to stained glass from a background in painting. This gives her an added understanding of the nuances of colour which the stained glass medium affords. She is influenced by the traditions of the medieval and Art Nouveau periods and by the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Glasgow School.

Susan produces small decorative articles, such as boxes, mirrors and jewelry, using the copper foil technique invented by Tiffany. She also creates lamps, panels and windows using traditionalleaded glass methods. She has also explored the age-old process of painting and firing glass which date back to medieval times. Commissions are welcome.

She also paints heraldic themes on glass and accepts commissions to depict individual coats of arms or crests in panel form.

Susan is also a musician and recording artist, having produced three CDs of solo harp music. Her website,"Dreamsounds", may be viewed at www.Klatu.com./dreamsounds/
