By combining the use of a glass combing band saw and the copper foil technique, the method most commonly used for smaller works. Sam has taken the art of stained glass to a new and exciting plateau.

Evoking such words as, unique, original, creative and yes even "funky". Sam's mirrors, picture frames and jewelry, are, from initial conception to completion, one of a kind, handcrafted, functional works of art.

Sam's work has been displayed in galleries throughout the United States including Hawaii, her creations can even be found adorning walls in Europe.
 
Originally from Amityville, New York, Sam moved to Tennessee in the early seventies. She studied Commercial Art at Watkins Institute and has been working with stained glass since 1987.
