Elizabeth specializes in the design and fabrication of original stained glass pieces using traditional lead came construction combined with modern forms, colours and textures. Much of her work has involved architectural stained glass, i.e. glass that is designed to become an integral part of a particular building. For Elizabeth, architectural stained glass is an ideal way to combine the spatial and contextual design aspects of architecture, the beauty of fine art and the rewards of excellent craftsmanship.
Elizabeth has worked in glass from 1996 to 2008 and from 2023 to the present. Before and between she has worked as an architect in both the public and private sectors. Influences from the glass work of architects Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and Frank Lloyd Wright are evident in many of Elizabeth's windows. Other designs utilize interwoven abstract forms which create a sense of fluid movement. In all her work, the light-charged medium of coloured glass contributes an additional dynamic to the design.
Elizabeth works out of her studio in Perth, Ontario.
