Our inspiration comes from the light and landscapes of Croton-on-Hudson, NY, where we live and work. Each day we are surrounded by shifting skies, reflections on the river, and the way sunlight transforms the natural world. Stained glass became our way of capturing those fleeting, luminous moments and shaping them into something lasting. We are especially drawn to dichroic glass because it behaves like light itself—changing color, tone, and intensity depending on where you stand. 

 

Our stained glass sculptures also carry a deeply personal layer of inspiration: nostalgia, memory, and the feeling of belonging. Forms like origami cranes, paper airplanes, and small villages connect our childhoods and immigration stories with our present life in New York.

 

Creating stained glass in three dimensions allows us to bridge tradition with modern design, science with art, and personal memory with universal experience. Above all, we are inspired by light’s power to comfort, transform, and connect us—guiding the vision of Glass on Hudson. 
 

With gratitude,
