My name is Cindi Smead and I have been an artist all my life.  My love affair with stained glass began was when I was only two years old. My mother and I were walking by an old church in Southern California and the scenes in the stained glass windows seemed alive!  Since then my love for glass has continued to grow and now I'm so lucky to be able to work with glass every day!

The process of working in glass and with fabrics is very similar.  I began working with fabrics when I learned to hand piece and quilt, using a needle and thread!  Both of these mediums offer me the chance to show you how beautiful the world is!
