Welcome to the
MAGENTA GECKO
ART STUDIO
Glass Etching Gallery
Besides loving
to paint, I also love to etch glass. Nowadays, I am very choosy about
the work I do because I want to enjoy the work I do
and want to have
a very substantial part in the creativity of the projects I do.
Some of the pictures
you are going to see may not be real crisp, but glass etchings are really
hard to photograph, especially the larger pieces, such as glass doors and
large windows. Please keep that in mind when viewing the photos.
My approach to glass etching
is probably different than you are used to seeing. I do not use sand
blasting nor do I use acid to etch the glass. Because I like to work
in detail, I found I could not achieve that detail using templates for
acid or using templates for sand blasting. My process affords me
the the luxury of creating whatever design and subject my clients want,
be it a design of underwater sea life or a Tibetan Goddess, or a very personal
design depicting very personal images for a Japanese family. My etching
process is not restricted to templates, but offers an open ended amount
of possibilities that is only restricted by my talents and ideas as an
artist .
Please note: The artist maintains all print
and publishing rights. No images may be reproduced without the written
permission of the artist. Thank you.

new etchings and new paintings as I do them. Thank you for visiting.
You can click on "BACK" to get back to my home page. Check out my
"soap box" page. It contains some of my views on a variety of subjects,
generally concerning something to do with our fragile eco system.
Nature has served me well, and I would like to give something back and
try to help the things that have no voice to protest or vote.
