About Me

I'm a painter and stained glass artist. On the day shift I design and build church windows, for the night shift I make my own work and show in galleries. The day shift is pretty straight forward - tell the familiar story, illuminate the space. The night shift is a little more complicated. The story is a created mythology executed in a traditional style, an attempt to combine the familiar and the mysterious.bryanwillette.com
