Who are these people anyway?

Ann Contois and Steve Reynolds are refugees from "big city life" living in wild and wonderful West Virginia these past 25+ years, with a bunch of stray dogs that found their way to our home, and of course a slightly crazed cat.

As stained glass artisans, we blend glass with space age materials, to create contemporary mirrors and jewelry of dynamic imagery.

Our most recent artistic exploration has taken us into the realms of digital art and web page design. This collaboration led to the founding of the Juried OnLine Arts Festival in July 1996 for professional artisans to showcase their artworks on the World Wide Web.

Ann graduated from University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Art, and developed a love of glass during extensive travels with her military family in Germany, Japan, and Cambodia.

Steve is a graduate of Loyola College of Baltimore, and was a professional photographer before becoming a glass artist. We share a mutual interest in science fiction, cosmology, ancient cultures, independent movies and eclectic music.

We have works in the West Virginia Permanent Art Collection, as well as in private collections across the country, and completed a major church installation in St. Mary's, West Virginia, and, the Contois Reynolds Glass Studio won numerous awards at juried art shows during the years "on the road".

(Our sky studio in midnight snows)

"People are like stained glass windows...
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
But when darkness sets in
Their true beauty is revealed
Only if there is a light from within."

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
