Lynn Chidwick is a stained glass artist in the Trafalgar Building, who makes some beautiful work. Years ago I fixed up an old brass chandelier by spray painting it white then went to Lynn to help me figure out what to do to it to give it a little something extra. Lynn attached a ring to the top so that she could solder on some glass pieces, leaf shapes and dots. She then made lots of individual pieces that could be hung onto the arms of the chandelier and moved around as you felt like it.
When we moved a few years ago, my mother gave us a house warming gift of a work by Lynn that fits perfectly in our foyer window. When the sun shines through that window, there are little rainbows cast all over the front hall and we just love it. Recently we have been trying to open a few areas where there is not much light and decided to cut some of the top panels out of a panel door to be replaced with stained glass designed by Lynn to compliment the work in the window. Can't wait to get to get that project started.
