Bob Bayliss, Stained Glass

Bob is a self-taught artist in stained glass and metal sculpture. He started working in stained glass in 1970 and metal sculpture in 1978. His work is in collections from Maine to Florida and includes: panels, lamps, jewelry boxes and kaleidoscopes. Most of his works are in the abstract, choosing to make one-of-a-kind pieces. In 1999, he began working part time in a stained glass store and teaching stained glass in Nanuet, NY. A union pipe fitter and welder, Bob retired in 2004 to Punta Gorda and settled in Port Charlotte.


Sandy Busher, Stained Glass

Sandy’s love of beautiful stained glass church windows led her to take her first class while living in northern Florida in June 1992. Immediately smitten, she first made gifts for relatives and friends and then began selling/displaying pieces at Tilghman House Gallery, Larimar Art Center, Craft Connection, Ravine Gardens Gift Shop and the Betty Rowe Art Gallery in Palatka, Florida. Currently, Sandy does work on commission, repairs glass lamps and panels, and teaches at the Visual Arts Center.
