Illuminations
Custom Architectural Art
Since 1998

Gloria Kriegh, Owner/Artist, Illuminations

Through a connection with nature and a desire to bring the best out of people, Gloria identifies the special inspirational aspect of each client. Using that as the basis she creates the custom composition designed to bring joy and happiness.

To ensure satisfaction, Gloria goes thru multiple iterations in the design process and only starts work once the draft is accepted. The completed artwork is delivered on or ahead of schedule.

Client quote: "Nothing short of spectacular!" Michael New, President, New Homes Inc. speaking of the 3-d stained glass in his 2002 Parade home.

Experience

I have 6 years of stained glass experience crafting custom windows and 3-D creations in both copper foil and leaded came. A couple of my stained glass creations can be viewed at Land Rover Colorado Springs or Healing Touch Chiropractic, also in Colorado Springs.

I've been sculpturing in clay since January 1993. I'm now applying this to create designs for slumping glass.

I started my training in more traditional pottery throwing in 1994. Several of my glass platters and bowls now resemble a pottery piece with the common spiral effect.

I've dabbled with faux finishes and decorative painting for years. This experience now is assisting with the artistic application of enamels.
