As the project gains momentum, the hope is that new artists will be drawn to Council Grove, further enriching the community's cultural fabric. The vision is for the town to become known as the "Stained Glass Capital of Kansas," with the Street Gallery as a key attraction.

I Caught the Stained-Glass Bug
Ever since I could remember I’ve always
been a maker & creating with my hands is
intrinsic to my well being and a must! I’ve
jumped through various mediums through
the years from pastels to oil paints, clay,
sewing, wire, metal, and now glass! I’m
completely enamored with the way that
stained glass harnesses the beauty and
nature of light--the way it refracts it in
amazing patterns and colors is amazing to
me.
I hope that the creations and ideas that
flow through me also brings you Joy and
excitement each time you feast your eyes
on a piece and know that each one is made
mindfully, with great care, and heart-felt
intention.
