“Josephine worked with me to create the most beautiful stained glass windows for my studio space. She took in all of my requests for what I wanted the piece to convey, considered what colors I wanted and then came back with a proposal for what it could look like. I fully expected her to come up with something beautiful, but the amazing work of art that I have in my home today even exceeded my expectations!”

While the client and I talked in the studio, I started sketching out her ideas on a piece of brown packing paper lying on the workbench. As she talked about the concept of time and seasons changing and how a river flows through life carrying everything to and from somewhere, the images were forming in my head for this triptych.
But the little sketch drawn on the scrap of paper did not convey enough detail, and was later refined into a collage that served as the inspiration for this commission. Each of the three panels transition between the seasons: spring to summer, summer to fall, and fall to winter.
