This was a very enjoyable window to design and create for an exhibition. Inspired by beautiful British Columbia, “Spirit” celebrates the natural beauty that makes this area so special. The flow of the design developed into a stylized shape that takes the eye of the viewer from the mountains to the water and back via the trees and sky. Hand made mouth blown glass from Europe was used for the extensive colour palette, and a plethora of glass painting techniques were used to create the details and tonal values. Or course no representation of BC would be complete without the spirit bear, sockeye salmon and bald eagle!
