About Renata

Biography -
In Her Own Words...

As a little girl it seemed I was always fascinated by art. I came from a long line of artistic and talented women who were also business owners. It was these strong women who inspired me and gave me the confidence to achieve what I have today.

I am the proud mother of eleven children, six boys and five girls and am a grandmother as well. My children, together with my husband, Terry have all encouraged me to follow my dreams and use my artistic talents. With their support I have devoted my natural abilities to create windows of distinction and elegance in stained glass. While my children were growing up they often stood at my side while I worked, watching and learning together, we all nurtured this "dying" art.

Sometimes the path of this journey was sidestepped as I once had managed a fabric store and fabricated custom designed draperies. My dream of owning my own stained glass art business has now been realized for over twenty-five years. Even when times seemed the darkest, working with stained glass has always been the bright light I needed to keep moving forward. I have discovered the creation of these works of art have been an inspiration for me by itself. When I complete a stained glass window it completes me. This is who I am and who I knew I would someday be. Sometimes all one simply needs is to have faith!

God bless you all!
