Stained glass has long been a fascination and often used medium to decorate famous European cathedrals, churches world-wide, and other houses of worship.  Certainly, Tiffany’s designs for lamps brought a new look to this old-world medium.  The Rickie Report spoke with a local resident, Lynn Inlow, who is working with stained glass and using it in new ways.  Lynn sells her beautiful creations at Local Treasures in Tequesta and donates half of her sales to a deserving charity.  Read more in this post.

Local Treasures is an art gallery and shop filled with the unique and creative works of a variety of local artists.  Kathy Barry has met many wonderful and talented artists and artisans serving Palm Beach and Martin Counties – Jupiter, Tequesta, Hobe Sound, Stuart, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach and West Palm Beach and brings their work to you.

Lynn tells The Rickie Report that she get started making stained glass in 1997 her youngest son went to college and she experienced  “empty nest” syndrome.  “I was looking for a new artistic endeavor. 

Flower Pocket Mirror

I took a few classes and stained glass became my new passion.  I moved to Hobe Sound, Florida almost two years ago and I brought my stained glass with me”.

Red Swirl Turtle Box

Her price point is so reasonable and Lynn is happy to make a custom piece for someone’s window, make a one-of-a-kind gift for a new baby, an heirloom piece of art for a wedding, party favors, or hanging ornaments.

She tells us, “I love to design and create custom stained glass pieces. The Rampant Lion is from the Scottish flag designed as a 4 foot medallion. 

Poinsettia Panel

The poinsettia window was about 3 feet square, designed to fit and coordinate with the colors of the room and curtains.  If you imagine it and I’ll create it!”
