New Discoveries

I've been going over the archive this last month trying to pull out the important pieces in hopes of putting an exhibiton together. Here are some of the gems from my digging around. Of course this doesn't even begin to cover it. What to choose? There are litterly hundreds of wonderful drawings, watercolors, sketches and designs.



One of my father's last commissions.

As an artist sensitive to inclusion of all ethnic groups and races, Douglas Phillips integrated his windows with people from all different backgrounds. 

Douglas Phillips's glass was inspired. He broke from the traditional gothic themes and incoporated the engery from his facisnation with the space program, jazz, and modern art. He introduced dynamic form and sweeping ribbons of color into stained glass beginning in the mid 1950's. 

This is from a series of windows Douglas Phillips
made inspired by our space program in the 1960's
