Tilda Brown Swanson was in the studio during the pandemic creating her new Gem Window series.
Drawing on the tradition and structure of gothic rose windows, she mixed flat and powdered glass into dramatic glass statements of beauty for our post-COVID lives.
- Her initial solo show for the Gem Window series was at the Clear Lake Art Center, Iowa. For more information, see their website.
