Let’s start with the distinction between stained and leaded glass.
On European cathedral windows of the past, stained glass is colored
glass that has been painted with vitreous oxides and fired, with or
without the application of silver nitrate. This stained glass is
also leaded — that is, individual pieces of the composition (or
mosaic) were held in place with lead cames, the rib-like dark
matter between pieces of light-filled glass.
Things are simpler now. “If you use the term stained glass today,
it is considered by most people to be any window with colored
glass,” says stained glass consultant Julie Sloan. “For clear glass
windows that are leaded, those are usually just called leaded.”
Decorative glass art panels from SYSEN Designs add a stunning
accent to any room.
From contemporary and traditional images to special holiday-themed
pieces, our beautiful art glass panels burst with rich color and
intricate detail.
Available in metal or wood-frames.

Artist's Statement...
I was looking through a box of papers from my past, when I
discovered a construction paper picture
made with cut pieces of different colors and outlined with a black
crayon. On the bottom it said
“stained glass window”. It looked like some 5 year old had tried to
portray his vision of glass art. As I
studied the crude art piece, I located a signature on the back...
I now realize that glass has been in my subconscious for almost 50
years, and it has manifested
itself in stained glass, leaded glass, faceted glass, beveled glass
and now fused glass wall art. The
wall art I create is mixed media in the form of fused glass mounted
over polished metal. I came up
with the idea several years ago at an art show when selling stained
glass panels to be hung in a
window. A customer told me they have blinds on their windows so
they would not see it anyway, they
had more wall space than window space. This got my creative
curiosity moving in an entirely new
direction.
My first experiment was mounting glass over a mirror, but it looked
cheap and I saw myself and what
was behind me in its reflection, not very appealing. I had been
working with metal and
blacksmithing, so I came up with aluminum. This metal reflects and
can be manipulated to enhance
the design. If the glass were mounted away from the metal it would
have “Movement and Energy”
thus was born Fused Glass Wall Art.
My designs are abstract in nature and work well in a room filled
with natural light, this changes
throughout the day so the piece changes with it. A spot light can
enhance the design by night thus
adding even more color changes through the use of Dichroic glass.
My inspiration comes from the natural world that surrounds me here
in Southwest Louisiana with a
tropical and Caribbean style, mixed with some whimsical fun.
Creating glass art designs that have never been conceived by any
other fills me with a sense of
accomplishment and integrity, and has proven to be the most
accurate method for translation of
inner vision to outer reality.
