Iva Kalikow, Hana Kasakova, Arnold Cecchini offering original Stained Glass artworks.
Arnold Cecchini - After being honorably discharged from the 1st Army I apprenticed under Master Designer Charles Connick Jr. in Boston while attending nights at Northeastern University. I have been working part time in the Stained Glass Media since 1971. It will always be something I love to do. Ive been commissioned privately for several projects in the late 70s to the present. In the early 80s I held courses in the leaded glass craft at Dutchess, Orange, Columbia Community Colleges, Vassar College, and three BOCES Programs all in New York. In the years since then my energies have been focused in the direction of conservation, repair, and creations.

In 2010 I retired after 37 years of government service, and now reside in Central FL....

Artists Describing Their Art:
Iva Kalikow - My first love was interior design which I studied at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. I went on to study drawing and color at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

My approach is one of the overall interior design of the room as well as the architectural aspects. My stained glass art panels are created in the traditional lead technique seen for centuries in churches and cathedrals. Using a wide array of both handmade and manufactured glass in every conceivable color and texture, I am constantly visualizing how natural light will illuminate the work. In selecting my palette of glass, do I use a rough wavy glass or a smooth texture, do I want it translucent or opaque I then meticulously hand cut each individual piece of glass, grind the edges and wrap it in malleable lead came strips, then solder and cement to create my original custom designed interpretations. My most recent collection is inspired by the Masters of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubist periods of Art - ...Arnold Cecchini - After being honorably discharged from the 1st Army I apprenticed under Master Designer Charles Connick Jr. in Boston while attending nights at Northeastern University.
